I'm currently a big 'A', small 'B' cup, my height is 5'5.5", slim body frame and weigh about 119lbs. I'm 30 and have 2 children who were both breast fed. I would like to be a full 'C' cup, I've recently been to see a consultant who has suggested he will insert 260cc textured Silicone breast implants (High profile) over the muscle. Does this seem ok?

Answer: Under Vs over the Muscle for More Natural Results? Thank you for the question.There are pros and cons to the placement of breast implants in the “sub muscular” position versus the "sub glandular position”. I will try to outline some of the differences here; you may find the attached link helpful as well.I think it is in the best interests of most patients seeking breast augmentation surgery to have implants placed in the “dual plane” or sub muscular position. This positioning allows for more complete coverage of the breast implants leading to generally more natural feel/look of the implants in the long-term. This position will also decrease the potential for rippling and/or palpability of the implants (which may increase with time, weight loss, and/or post-pregnancy changes).The submuscular positioning also tends to interfere with mammography less so than breast implants in the sub glandular position. The incidence of breast implant encapsulation (capsular contraction) is also decreased with implants placed in the sub muscular position.On the other hand, sub glandular breast implant positioning does not have the potential downside of “animation deformity” ( movement/ distortion of the breast implants seen with flexion of the pectoralis major muscle) they can be seen with breast implants placed in these sub muscular position. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast implants should be placed under the muscle Most surgeons would advise against placing breast implants above the muscle. The opposite is true; most surgeons place breast implants beneath the muscle. This is performed for three basic reasons:
