I want to know if anyone has had this procedure, prepectoral implant, it is where they wrap the implant in alladerm and then place it on top of the pec muscle instead of under the muscle. I have done quiet a bit of research and it sounds so much better than the under muscle way. I can't seem to find a doctor in my area, Indiana, that does preform this. I absolutely HATE the way I look and feel with these implants under my muscles. Any info will be appreciated.

Yes, that is how my PS does his reconstruction,on top of the muscle using alloderm. Right now I have tissue expanders in and in a few months I will swap those out for implants.

He didn't really give me a choice. He just said that is how he does them---he was the second PS I met with. The first said she puts them under the muscle. I asked him why he did not and he said this way looks more natural.

I had mine done this way. I can feel the implant around the edges.
