Simone Biles breast augmentation

Simone Biles has been incredibly transparent about her breast augmentation, sharing details about her surgery and her board certified female surgeon.

We applaud her openness and her choice of a qualified surgeon.

However, as board certified plastic surgeons who specialize in breast surgery, we have serious concerns about one specific aspect of her procedure: the placement of her implants under the muscle.

For an elite athlete with the strongest pec muscles you can imagine, cutting that muscle and placing implants underneath can possibly create long-term complications.

We explain why this placement may cause her implants to migrate laterally over time, what alternatives would have been better suited for her athletic lifestyle, and why customizing surgery to each patient's unique anatomy and goals matters so much.

What you'll learn:

• Why Simone Biles' implant placement is problematic for elite athletes.
• How pec muscle strength affects implant positioning over time.
• When under-muscle placement makes sense versus when it doesn't.
• The newer implant technology and techniques available today.
• What alternatives exist for athletic patients.
• Why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to breast augmentation.
• The importance of matching surgical technique to lifestyle.
