29 F. 34B, 135 lbs. I was told I have a wide chest (or wide breast bone?) and a mild tuberous deformity in one of my breasts. Also my breasts sit kind of low. I want them to look very natural and about 1-2 cup sizes bigger. One doctor told me a moderate profile responsive implant placed submuscular would be most natural and another said low profile SoftTouch placed subfascially would be most natural. Any advice?
Answer: Subfascial vs submuscular Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals!

Answer: Customizing Breast Implant Placement: Considerations for Body Type and Desired Results Thank you for your question. Your body type influences the breast implant's location, the intended result, and your breast tissue. Both subfascial and submuscular implantation benefit a low breast with a broad chest and minor tuberous deformity. Submuscular implantation is often advised for patients who are thin or have less breast tissue. It can provide the breast implant greater coverage and fullness, which is advantageous in difficult instances such as tuberous breasts. The subfascial placement has reduced postoperative discomfort and provided support to reduce implant edge visibility and palpability. Also, to increase 1-2 cup sizes, you would look for implants ranging from 150 to 200 CCs for each cup size increase. But depending on your physique and the amount of breast tissue you currently have, the volume required may change. A thorough consultation with a board-certified surgeon is necessary to decide on the best implant type, size, and pocket location. They will consider your breast's base width, the distance between your nipple and fold, the thickness of the skin pinch, and other dimensional factors.

Answer: Subfascial or submuscular Dear hdk9920, I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time when they are protected under the muscle.

Answer: Breast augmentation Without photos or an exam it's difficult to give specific recommendations. Breast augmentation and implant selection options are best decided in person with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Each candidate is unique and has specific goals for their "wish" look. If you are unsure about the advice you received you may wish to meet with a couple other board certified plastic surgeons for their opinions.
