What is the aesthetic difference between breast implants placed in front of the pectoralis muscle and breast implants placed behind the pectoralis muscle?
Aesthetically, the primary difference is that the muscle covers the upper part of the breast implant, making it less likely that the breast implant can be seen under the skin. The degree to which the placement affects the final result depends, in part, on the change in size, the body of the patient, and the size of the breasts before augmentation.
