A breast implant is more likely to be noted on manipulation of the breast when they are too big for the breast and soft tissue present, when they are over, rather than under the muscle, and when they are textured. Ensuring a small enough base width, good soft tissue cover with a submuscular or dual-plane placement, and using smooth breast implants will decrease the risk for this.
