The implant may be placed behind the breast muscles or be placed behind the nipple- there is a big difference between the two procedures. In almost all cases, the breast size can be increased by several cup sizes. In some cases, the plastic balloon is slowly filled with more water or silicone until the desired breast size is obtained.
