After you’ve made the biggest decision - to undergo breast augmentation surgery -  you still have several very important decisions to make. One important decision to be made is the size, type, and shape of the implant itself. Another is the incision location for inserting the implant.

Both are important, but one of the fundamental questions is breast implant placement:  should the implant be placed above the muscle or beneath it?

If you’re lucky enough to live in the Bay Area and have chosen  a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to perform the surgery, you’ve found someone who will take you through every step of the process and provide you with all the facts you’ll need to make the best choices to suit your age, body type, and esthetic goals.

Try to find a surgeon whose philosophy focuses on preserving the best features of your natural appearance, utilizing his knowledge of aesthetics to balance and improve your overall body proportions.  Modern ideals of health and physical fitness tend to favor the most natural look that can be achieved for an active outdoor lifestyle.
