Why is under muscle placement more commonly recommended than over muscle?

Punkratty
Why do many plastic surgeons recommend more under the muscle placements, rather than over the muscle, when there are a lot more problems with under the muscle placement (especially lateral displacement & animation deformity compared to capsular contracture with over the muscle placement)? That doesn't include the other problems that come under the muscle such as capsular contracture, bottoming out and double bubble.
