A: subglandular or "above the muscle" breast implants

By William Bruno, MD - Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon

If you are a think woman, a breast implant in the subglandular (above the muscle) location may be difficult to conceal. This may lead to an unnatural appearance, or even visible rippling, compared to placing the implant in a subpectoral (under the muscle) location. Also, implants in the... more

A: Breast Implant "Over" or "Under" the muscle

By Stewart Wang, MD - Los Angeles Plastic Surgeon

The most important decision on breast implant placement is the amount of soft tissue coverage that you have. The more soft tissue that you have the less you will need to place the implant "under" the muscle. There are pros and cons with both subglandular and subpectoral placement of the implants.... more

A: Subglandular vs. Subpectoral

By Farbod Esmailian, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

I would not place the implants subglandular just for the animations deformity that you can get, unless you are a bodybuilder that competes. In that case, I think it would be justified to place the implants in a subglandular position. Other than the the risks and benefits are not in your favor. You... more

A: Breast implants over or under the muscle.

By Otto Joseph Placik, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

The appearance of your breasts depends on several factors and has no simple yes or no answer. Let me give you an oversimplified analogy to explain. If you take a baseball and cover it with a silk sheet, you will see all the details of the ball and it will be "obvious". If you cover it with a... more

A: Subglandular breast implants

By Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Yes, your nipple sensitivity may be altered by having subglandular implants as many of the nerves will be divided to create a pocket for the implants. Also, if you have very small breasts to begin with the outline of the implants will be more visible. Carefully consider all options and risks before... more

A: Sub Glandular Breast Implants

By Robert T. Buchanan, MD - Highlands Plastic Surgeon

I believe that Sub Glandular Breast Implants are the most reasonable choice for people like you for many reasons. Some are the ones you stated. When you move the arm, the implant under the muscle will deform. This is more readily apparent in people that are small. There is also a higher incidence of implant... more

A: Do "overs" increase the chance of losing nipple sensitivity? And will they look natural?

By Peter A. Aldea, MD - Memphis Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Ghaderi "nailed" the answer. I fully agree. For a breast augmentation to look pleasing - it MUST be a compromise between what your own breast tissues will allow and the implant that meets those restrictions. Coverage of the implant is THE MOST important factor to consider. If the implants... more

A: Suglandular implants

By Bahram Ghaderi, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

The decision as to which pocket to use for implant placement is based on one main issue - tissue coverage. If you are very thin, going under the muscle is the preferred method. The muscle is only released in a certain segment and retains its function. If you do not wish to have the implant placed under... more
