Hey Amy. Yes that is true, if you have the implant placed over the muscle then it’s only the skin being cut and the pocket under your breast tissue being made. If you have it placed partially under the muscle then your pectoral muscle is going to be cut which is obviously going to take longer to heal.
I was originally having partials but my surgeon said it would take me 3 months to get back to get back top sports, having the implant over the muscle means I will be back in 6 weeks. Big difference.
Hope this helps 🙂 x
