One of the things you and your Toronto plastic surgeon will have to decide when you opt for a breast augmentation, is whether the implant will go over or under the muscle. An over muscle implant is inserted beneath the breast tissue and on top of your chest muscles, while an under muscle implant goes under the chest muscles.
How muscle affects implants
Placing an implant under the muscle helps to give it a more natural look, particularly if you have very little natural breast tissue to cover it up. This placement is also often chosen with saline implants because the muscle […]

This includes ensuring that the skin is properly closed after surgery. This is by no means a guarantee that excess scarring […]

Many women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery have expressed concern about the effects breast feeding has on implants. They worry that the process will change the appearance of their breasts, which was a major monetary investment.
Luckily for looking to start or expand their family, this is an unnecessary concern, according to a recent study.

There are a few key variables for breast implants. If you’re considering getting implants, you might already be thinking about the size that you would like, and whether to choose saline or silicone filled implants.
However there is another important choice to consider before your augmentation, and that’s whether to have them placed under the muscles in your chest, or over the muscles.
Placing implants below the muscle yields the best results for most women, but in some certain cases, the above-muscle approach is preferred.
Under-Muscle Breast Implants
This type of breast implant procedure is also called a sub-pectoral augmentation. There are a number […]
