I think they put them under the muscle. I remember seeing a show on MTV I believe where a bodybuilder got glute implants and that's where they put them
As it turns out, subfascial placement of the calf implant is generally performed more often because the procedure is less dissection-intensive, and results in generally faster recovery times with patients reporting less pain. "The thing to watch for is implant movement (drift or rotation), or being able to feel the perimeter edges of the implant because they are usually harder than the nearby muscle and not enough tissue covers the implant itself," Dr. Chugay explained. "As well, sometimes the desired effect isn't aesthetically as pleasing as the submuscular method because the implant itself sometimes can define the final shape of the calf region, rather than the muscle tissue. If you've done as many of these as I have, you can almost always get it right, without any problems."Submuscular (subaponeurotically) placement is considered a more difficult procedure as the operation delves deeply into tissues. As well, this method of calf augmentation generally requires much more recovery time and involves more discomfort until the deep tissue trauma begins to heal. There is also a chance for more damage to nerves and vascular tissue, but this is infrequent if the surgery is performed by someone with vast experience, like Dr. Chugay. Some say, however, that the results are better because the implant is placed more securely and accurately within the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (within deeper fascia tissues), allowing for more aesthetic placement of the implant. It's also been observed that submuscular implantation can result in a more natural calf shape and feel because the actual muscles of the calf cover the implant completely.
