Breast implants under or over the muscle? Will you have a choice?

We recently received a comment from a viewer who had breast implants placed without being given a choice or explanation about placement options. This sparked an important conversation about patient communication. We discuss why placement matters, the differences between over and under the muscle, how the industry has evolved, and why your surgeon needs to explain your options before surgery. You need to understand the why behind every decision before you go into surgery. What you'll learn: The difference between implants over the muscle and under the muscle. How implant technology has changed surgeon approaches. Why some surgeons only do one technique versus offering options. How new implant companies are changing the industry. When it's appropriate to switch placement (and when it's not). Why communication with your surgeon matters before surgery. Questions you should be asking before implant surgery. Surgery is a big deal and you have every right to know what's going on. Do your research, ask questions, and make sure your surgeon is explaining your options. If they're not willing to discuss this with you, you have every right to go somewhere else. Dr. Smita Ramanadham Connect with Dr. Smita Website Instagram Connect with Dr. Amalfi Website Instagram
