Would be a total capsulectomy be more damaging if I have the implants placed above the muscle or below the muscle?

Dear Community, I would like to know before having my breast augmentation procedure, just in case I would be among those people who develops BII and needs to remove the implants with a Total capsulectomy, this would be more damaging (like removing more breast tissue, or damaging more the breast tissue) if I have the implants placed above the muscle or below the muscle? I am thinking of placing the implants above the muscle to avoid cutting the muscle. Thank you!
