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?
Answer: Sub glandular breast implants are unfairly criticized in the United States. When silicone gel implants are used in most circumstances sub glandular placement is aesthetically better. There is the misconception that sub muscular implants decrease the risk of bottoming out. In truth it's the other way around. I agree with you that sub muscular placement of implants is held in unnecessarily high esteem in the United States.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Sub glandular implants Subglandular implants are a minority in the US, but are increasing in popularity. I often place silicone gel implants in sub glandular pockets for selected patients. Excellent, very natural results can be achieved, in many cases, better than sub muscular. The newer gel implants are well suited to sub glandular placement with less rippling. Capsular contracture rates may be somewhat higher, but I believe the overall reoperation rate is similar when all problems requiring revision (muscular distortion, asymmetry, implant malposition, capsular contracture, and other reasons) are taken into account.

Answer: Why does subglandular get such a bad rap in the U.S? The preference for submuscular placement of breast implants is better coverage long-term and the risk of capsular contracture. With time subglandular implants become more visible as the overlying breast tissue thinness. I do not think there is a difference in the right of breast feeding difficulties between submuscular and subglandular. I cannot tell what size implants the patient has in the photo you provided. Sizing should be based on the base width of your breast. To learn more about sizing you may do the Rice test at home which is described in the link below:
