I am getting 800cc round silicone implants. Can they be placed under the muscle? 5'4", 125lbs

Asked By:DarkPhoenix12 in Toronto, ON

I currently have 500 (overfilled) saline implants and they are placed under the muscle, which created a very natural look and a very smooth transition from my chest top to the implant. I was choosing between the anatomic-shape implant and round but my PS said that the largest anatomic will not fit me (it is too wide for my rib cage) and I should go with the round 800cc ones, since it is the volume/cup increase that I want. Would placing it under the muscle give me the smoother transition on top?
