I have a athletic shape, wide shoulders,75kgs, 12B, wanting to go to C/D. Apart from size, Im happy with my breasts. Surgeon said subglandular due to enough breast tissue (tissue-3cm,chest size-21cms (equilateral triangle),inter breast-1.9cm,width- both 15.3) I do weights at gym, hairdresser so use upper body daily. He said submuscular can buldge when the upper body muscles are being used.I want a natural look, and been told under the muscle is best to achieve that but surgeon said otherwise. Confused!Is subglandular implants the best for a natural look for an athletic body shape and lifestyle? Im 25, size 12, 176cms tall
Answer: Sub-muscular or Sub-glandular breast implants for athletic woman Thank you for your question and photographs. You have very natural normal pretty looking breasts and breast augmentation should give you an excellent result.If you are concerned about breast implant motion with muscle activity Sub-glandular breast augmentation may be your best option. In fact many hairdressers find that using their equipment does cause disturbing contraction of the muscle and implant.Recent research studies have shown that textured implants and an inframammary crease incision beneath the breast lower the risk of capsular contraction or hardening of the breast implant. If you choose a Sub-glandular augmentation it would be important to consider textured implant and inframammary crease incision.The most important factor is to choose a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced in breast implant surgery, and who has an excellent reputation in your community.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Natural look For a more natural look, sub-pectoral placement is preferred. This allows for more tissue to cover the implant to make it less detectable. However, if your surgeon said that you have enough tissue to go over the muscle, then it should be okay.

Answer: Submuscular Augmentation Works Well for Athletic Women Your picture suggests that you could have either a breast augmentation with a subglandular placement or a submuscular placement. However, there are a number of advantages to a below the muscle placement. The more tissue cover you have over an implant, the more natural the look. Mammograms with a submuscular placement are easier for the radiologist to read because they show less compression of breast tissue than a subglandular placement. I have a lot of body builders, personal trainers and rock climbers in my practise who have had very good outcomes with a submuscular placement. I consider it a "Best Practise" technique and reserve a subglandular placement for unique circumstances.

Answer: Are Subglandular Implants the best choice for my athletic body shape if I'm seeking a natural look? Unless you are a "professional" athlete I recommend sub muscular placement. Just doing working out does nort mean sub glandular is appropriate. Best to seek additional IN PERSON opinions.

Answer: Breast implants under or over the muscle Dear Blondy, Thanks for submitting your picture. You appear to be a small A cup, so , assumming that you are a 34 small A cup, to become a 34 full C cup you will need roughly 450cc of saline ( my prefered implants ) . I routinely place the implants under the muscle due to better coverage, less capsule contracture and better preservation of nipple sensation. When done correctly, and the muscle along the sub mammary crease is released adequately, there might be some flatening of the chest but there is no bulge when the muscles are being used. I can tell you frankly, that after performing breast augmentation under the muscle on over 2,000 patients, most of the patients are very happy and their breasts look very natural. Some of my patients got married after they had the surgery and they tell me that their husbands do not know that they have implants... Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons and check ther before and after pictures to make sur that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder
