What are the pros and cons of placing silicone implants over or under the muscle?

July 11, 2014
Asked By:Sk95 in Orlando, FL

I'm wary of getting implants placed over the muscle, but I am very uneducated on the differences and the pros and cons of either placement. I know my surgeon will pick the best placement for me but I'd like to be educated on the decision. Is there a major difference between the two placements? Is one better than the other for my body type? I am 5'8", 118 pounds with an athletic build.
