✨ OVER vs. UNDER THE MUSCLE ✨Which breast implant placement is right for you during a breast augmentation 👇
⭐️ OVER THE MUSCLE
The implant is placed behind the breast tissue but in front of the chest muscle.• Typically less discomfort & quicker recovery• No movement of the implant when flexing the chest muscle• Can be a great option when there’s enough natural breast tissue for coverage
⭐️ UNDER THE MUSCLE
The implant is placed partially behind the chest muscle.• Provides additional implant coverage• Can create a smooth, natural-looking transition• Often preferred when breast tissue is thinner• Recovery may involve more initial tightness or soreness
✨ So, which is better? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer! Your anatomy, breast tissue, implant choice, lifestyle, and desired result all play a role.
During your consultation, Dr. Andochick can help determine which approach is best for your body and your goals.
