I am considering pec implants along with gyno revision to help correct some a small degree of skin laxity. I want results that look and feel natural. My understanding is they are placed behind the muscle. Can you feel the implants once they are inserted inside the body?

Answer: Are pectoral implants visible? Palpable?
Pectoral implants can rarely be slightly noticeable in very thin people and those with thin pectoral muscles. But for those who train their chest muscles, the thick pectoralis muscles usually blunt all implants edges. As far as palpating them, yes, they can be palpable in the outer lower quadrant in very thin persons. For this reasons, a very very soft pliable silicone implants should be chosen instead of a rigid one. Hope this helps! See our video, attached.

Answer: Pec Implants
Yes, for most patients, the pec implants are placed under the muscle. The implants area made from a solid silicone but can be made in different "firmness" to assist with making things feel as "natural" as possible.
