    Sad Ignorant question about BA's

    Ok, i am confused, i am not planning to get mine done, but i read what you guys post and i am confused.

    Why do people get implants over the muscle and some under? What difference does it make?

    Please tell me =)

    thanks

    This is from justbreastimplants.com:

    Over the muscle Pros

    Very easy to place.

    Avoidance of a breast lift due to mild sag, however, this is usually a "quick fix", and a lift will, many times, be needed in the future, especially when larger implants are placed. Keep in mind that the only thing supporting the implant is the skin and breast tissue.

    Less recovery time, with less post-op discomfort/pain.

    Larger implants may be placed, versus attempting to use a very large implant with partial or complete sub-muscular placement (during the first augment).

    Cleavage is more easily created with overs.

    Over the Muscle Cons

    Ripples are more easily seen and felt, especially in women starting with little or no breast tissue.

    More pictures/views will need to be taken when doing mammograms, and sometimes, insurance companies will not pay for these extra images, which means you will have to pay for those out-of-pocket. However, his can be true no matter where the implants are placed.

    Capsule contracture rates are highest in women with implants placed over the muscle.

    Many women who lift weights opt for over the muscle placement. This is mostly due to the fact that when the pectoral muscles are flexed, the implant does not become distorted in shape.

    Overs usually, but not always, tend to give a more "fake", augmented look. There tends to be more of a pronounced "roundness" to the breasts, versus the look that unders give, which is a more natural slope. Again, this is not the case for ALL sub-glandular implants, but does seem to be truer for those who have little to no breast tissue to start with. There is nothing at all wrong with this look. It's more a matter of personal preference.

    When people talk about Under the Muscle, most of the time they are referring to partially under the muscle

    Under the Muscle (Partially) Pros

    Decreased risk of visible and palpable ripples and implant edges, except for the lower 1/3 portion of the implant, which is not covered by the muscle/fascia.

    Decreased risk of capsular contracture.

    Most of the time, a more natural shape to the upper portion of the breast. In general, there is a more natural slope to the breast, instead of the "upper roundness" that is common with over the muscle implants. This is a good thing, if this is the look you desire.

    Under the Muscle (Partially) Cons

    More post-op discomfort, and longer recovery period. This is due to the procedure being more invasive, as well as the muscles stretching out to accommodate the implant.

    The implants take longer to "settle" or "drop".

    The breast implant may appear to be distorted while flexing the chest muscles. This is really not a big deal, unless you are flexing pretty hard.

    The implants are supported by the same tissues (skin) as over the muscle implants, which means less lower pole support (compared to implants placed completely behind the muscle/fascia), which can possibly lead to bottoming out, although bottoming out is possible with any placement.

    Ripples (wrinkling of the breast implant shell) may been seen and/or felt along the lower and outer 1/3 of the implant (the part which is only covered by the breast tissue). However, ripples are possible with the implants placed completely under the muscle, as well.

    There is also a completely under the muscle placement, but it's not done very often:

    Completely Under the Muscle Pros

    The implant is fully covered, by the muscle and fascia, which helps to camouflage the edges of the implant, as well as ripples in the implant. While visible rippling is possible with all three placements, having complete submuscular placement has the least risk of visible rippling.

    The fascia serves as support to the lower pole, whereas with partial sub-muscular placement, the skin tissues support the weight of the implant. Complete unders serve as sort of an "internal bra".

    Lower risk of capsular contracture.

    Better mammogram readings (versus over the muscle implants).

    Lower risk of bottoming out.

    Completely Under the Muscle Cons

    More post-op discomfort.

    Breasts tend to sit a bit high at first, until the muscle relaxes.

    Implant distortion when the pectoral muscle is tightly flexed, which is also try with partial submuscular placement.

    If your breasts are widely spaced, it may be more difficult to create cleavage, especially with textured implants.

    I have completely unders. I chose that because I wanted them to look and feel as natural as possible and that was the best option for that.

    I have complete unders too. Like CK says, I wanted the most natural appearance.
