Hello, I'm thinking about having a breast enlargement since forever. Now I can finally afford it, however, I also love exercise and pole dancing. These two elements shape who I am and giving up on them is not an option. I need to know if after my surgery I will be able to pole dance again (I am intermediate to advanced level) or being able to do weightlifting. So, what should I do? Over or under muscle? The surgeon I spoke to never had pole dancer patients before. Thank you

Answer: Implant placement Thank you for your question. I typically always recommend implants to be placed below the muscle. I find they last longer cosmetically, look and feel much more natural then above the muscle implants. Implants above the muscle tend to stretch out the skin over time and you can typically see more of the defect of an implant above the muscle. I would recommend speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Should I have under the muscle or over the muscle implants. Breast implants can be placed above or below the muscle with excellent results. Placing breast implants below the muscle decreases risk of capsular contracture. Placing implants above the muscle avoid the risk of animation deformity.
