Subglandular or Submuscular Breast Implants Can look Natural
Thank you for your question.
Both Submuscular and Subglandular Breast Implants can look very natural.
Subglandular Breast Implants are more often used when there is a small amount of sagging after pregnancy that does not require a lift and in patients who have plenty of breast tissue. The Submuscular Breast Implants tend to stay higher and can accentuate the sag or cause a Snoopy Deformity in patients who have had children.

Breast Implants Above or Under Pectoralis Muscle Placement?
Thank you for the question.
I think it is in your best interests (and that of most patients seeking breast augmentation surgery) to have implants placed in the “dual plane” sub muscular position. This positioning allows for more complete coverage of the breast implants leading to generally more natural feel/look of the implants in the long-term.

Natural results with either subglandular or submuscular augmentation
This always creates a lot of confusion-you are not alone. If there was an absolute, significant advantage one way or the other, we would not even be discussing the 2 different options. There are advantages and disadvantages with both under and over the muscle. If the patient has enough tissue to cover the implant, then above the muscle is an option. Keep in mind that the smaller the implant, the easier it is to cover the implant. A 260cc size implant is pretty...

Subglandular or submuscular breast augmentation
If you have enough breast tissue to start with, a small implant like you describe may provide enough fullness to restore the breast shape that you lost after pregnancy and breast feeding.
