See and be seen?

Implants may be detected by the touch, whether they are placed under the muscle, or above the chest muscle and under the breast tissue. Implants can feel unnaturally firm if filled beyond the manufacturers’ recommended fill volume.

All implants can also ripple or wrinkle. This is not necessarily a result of time—they may just become more noticeable as swelling subsides. Therefore, many plastic surgeons place implants under the muscle when the patient has a small amount of breast tissue. That way, the implants are less palpable and less noticeable in terms of wrinkling. Not all women experience this visible side effect; it is more common with saline and some textured implants. All of these possibilities are, of course, trade-offs to achieving an enhanced breast. Implant visibility can be minimized by selecting the proper implant and placement for your body type.
