I have been to two consults. One doc says under, another says behind. Should I get a third opinion?
There are many advantages to sub muscular implants. You will have less rippling and lower rate of capsular contracture. The overall look tends to be better in the long term appearance with going under the muscle especially if saline implants are used. You will also have a better image for the doctors to read during a mammogram if the implants are placed under the muscle.
7 months post op. dual plane (muscle splitting technique) bilateral breast augm. with 300cc cohesive silicone, periareolar insicion. Experiencing extensive implant distortion upon muscle flexing, even though muscle splitting tech. was performed on me. Can this be fixed without moving implants above muscle? Was muscle-splitting performed poorly on me, or not performed at all??? Also have asymetry with left implant sitting higher than right. No asymetry before operation.
Hello,
With the fact that you used a periareolar approach and have a partial submuscular implant, your capsule may be strong enough to cause distortion when you flex your pectoralis muscles. In my experience the easiest way to guard against this problem is to place the implants in the subglandular, above the muscle plane. This is done most safely when you have an adequate pinch test showing a good amount of tissue coverage on top of the proposed implant. In my practice, patients who are extremely athletic or have jobs that require a large about of lifting are counselled about the need to avoid long-term displacement of the implants and that subglandular. above the muscle implants may be most appropriate for their long-term breast augmentation success.
I hope this helps,
Dr. Shah
