The main advantages to placing implants over the muscle is that the implants can have more effect on shaping the breast and fill out the skin with less restriction than if they were under the muscle. Another major advantage is that there is no distortion of the implants’ shape with contraction of the chest muscles. The recovery is also a little easier with slightly less post-operative pain and swelling.
A major disadvantage to placing implants above the muscle is that there is less of you covering the implant so it is easier to feel the implant when you touch your breasts. This also translates into a higher risk of being able to see implant rippling through the skin. A final disadvantage is a higher risk of capsular contracture.
The best candidates for breast augmentation over the muscle are women with a moderate amount of breast tissue who can pinch around an inch or more of tissue at the upper portion of their breasts.
