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: Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery I appreciate your question. The best way to determine implant size is based on chest wall measurements that fit your body. Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve. Implants under the muscle, there is less risk of capsular contracture. Anatomic implants tend to give a more natural shape with more nipple projection. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Why does subglandular get such a bad rap in the U.S? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. In general implants are placed more frequently under the chest muscle as it affords a more natural shape and appearance, increases soft tissue coverage of the implant, and trends towards fewer complications like capsular contracture. Ultimately once you have met with your plastic surgeon and discussed the pros and cons of each placement location the decision is yours as to which position you would like the implant placed. Hope this helps.
