Do implants look bigger over or under the muscle?

Will under the muscle implants get bigger? A common misconception many women have is that breast implants placed under the pectoralis major muscle will get bigger once they drop and settle. The truth is that they won’t, implants don’t change size.

Do under the muscle implants look more natural?

In general, implant placement beneath the muscle tends to look more like natural breasts and less like breast implants. Lubbock women are all different, so this will not be the right placement for every body type. Women with limited natural breast tissue find that placement under the muscle is necessary.

Should implants be placed under the muscle?

Generally, if you have minimal breast tissue and want larger implants, under the muscle placement will provide the best results as your pectoralis major muscles will help hide any possible rippling in your implants.

How painful is breast augmentation under the muscle?

Having implants under the muscle tends to be more painful than over the muscles as your surgeon will need to make an incision in the muscle, as well as the breast tissue, to create the ‘pocket’ that your breast implant will fit inside. You can expect to feel the most pain in the first one to three days after surgery.

Is under the muscle breast implants better?

The under the muscle or submuscular approach involves placing the implants below the chest muscle. This is usually a good option for women with little native breast tissue, as the muscle offers greater coverage. The results tend to look more natural than breasts that are placed above the muscle.

How many cc’s do you lose under the muscle?

How many ccs of volume do you lose under the muscle? Placing implants under the muscle leads to about 50cc loss of volume. What this means is that if you want 300 sizer breasts, you may need to opt for a 350 implant to achieve that result.

Is it better to have breast implants above or below the muscle?

Over the Muscle Placement Placing implants over the chest muscle is a slightly easier procedure with a slightly shorter recovery. Women who have implants placed over the muscle tend to have less post-operative discomfort because the chest muscle is not manipulated during surgery.

Is 50cc a big difference?

4- Do not worry excessively over 25 cc or even 50 cc: There really is no significant difference in breast implants between these small volumes. The volume difference is just too small. This is true for saline and silicone implants.
