Why does subglandular get such a bad rap in the U.S?

iliauna
I know 70% US breast augs are submusc but in Europe more are subgland. I know about mammograms and capsular contracture. Purely cosmetically speaking why isn't subgland more popular here as it is there? Esp. since we use silicone mostly now. What are the cons cosmetically, esp. long term? What is breast feeding risk since you're close to the glands? What placement do you think she has? I was a small D, now small B want C no lift needed. What size is she? How would you get this round look?
