Breast augmentation can be done with two techniques – either under the breast muscle or under the breast tissue itself. Augmentations that take place under the breast tissue are less evasive and require less recovery time. So much so that it can be done under local anesthesia or sedation. For most candidates over the breast muscle augmentation is not suitable, as the muscle acts as a cushion in most patients wishing to increase the size of their breasts. Forming a more natural appearance. The exception to this rule is if a woman already has a relatively full breast. Wishing to be slightly fuller. Adding a breast implant over the muscle in this case can give a nice projection and add additional fullness. Without the complications that come from going underneath the muscle.
