Submuscular vs subglandular breast animation and cosmetic concerns? (Photos)

iliauna
I'm concerned about implant placement, my biggest reason being animation. I want my breast to move like natural breast. Is there more risk of rippling with subgland placement? (In my case?) I've been told I can do either, I am a B was a D, goal C I've read about a ball in a sock look happening from subgland because it can cause early sagging is this true? Submusc. Concerns: snoopy breast, double bubble, bottoming out. What is the higher risk w/ each method? What other deformities can occur?
