What's Your Opinion on the Sub-fascial Breast Implant Compared to Subpectoral? Is it really better than sub pectoral? I am getting a full lift with small impants in April and never heard of sub fascia before. It all sounded impressive but I`m a bit sceptical. Loved the facts and the PS is highly recommended, he really explained all the facts but I wanted to hear other opinions. Thank you!

A: SUBFASCIAL VS. SUBPECTORAL

I use the subfascial approach only in patients who fulfill the following criteria: only in patients who want gel implants and have at least a pinch test of one inch in the upper aspect of the breast. There is a greater risk of developing rippling with saline implants or if there is not enough tissue to cover the implants. This approach allows the breasts to settle more quickly so that you will reach your final result faster. There is much less pain postoperatively with the subfascial approach. One is able to return to work sooner. I have not found there to be any difficulties performing mammography. In a patient requiring a lift a subfascial implant with fill out the skin envelope better providing a nicer result.

Can You Feel Breast Implants While Feeling Your Breast? I was told by someone that during intimacy if someone was feeling the breast, they would be able to feel the breast implant shell while feeling under the breast. Is this true?

A: IMPLANT PALPABILITY

Breast implants can be felt on occasion. Saline implants are more palpable than gels. The usual location where it is possible to feel the implants along the lateral border or along the fold of the breast. Implant palpability is related to how much breast tissue a person has to cover the implant and the location of the implants. The smaller the breasts and the larger the implants the more likely the implants will be palpable. If the implants are under the muscle one may be able to feel the implants on the side or underneath where there is not much muscle to cover the implant.

Can a Short Sharp Fall Damage my Under Muscle Surgery-1wk In? I had under muscle silicone breast augmentation one week ago and today fell and bumped a little down the stairs. I would say that light to just under moderate impact was felt in breasts. There was more discomfort than pain. I am wearing a sports bra but it's not completely tight as my sides are sore from swelling. Could this cause any damage or am I needlessly panicking? Thanks for any advice!

A: FALL POST AUGMENTATION

It is unlikely that you have damaged your implants so relax. If you are concerned and need reassurance schedule a vist with your physician.
