What is the difference between having the implant put in above or underneath the chest muscle?
Dr. Lee places the breast implants underneath the pectoralis major muscle (the chest wall muscle) in most cases because it gives a smoother transition to the fuller breasts in the upper area of the chest and has a more of a natural appearance. Having the implants under the muscle placement of the implants can also have a protective effect against capsular contracture (hardening of the breast implants over time).
