Does implant placement behind the muscle allow for full breast screening?

Dear minkymonkey,
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.

Thanks for your question. Submuscular breast augmentation does tend to interfere with screening less than subglandular implants - nevertheless specific mammographic views are required called Eklund views to enable complete imaging of your breast tissue and that the implant is not obstructing this.
Removal of your all of your cysts from fat grafting, and any residual capsule, may be challenging if the cysts are multiple and in the glandular tissue of the breast (the only way to do this may be to remove a significant amount of breast tissue which may not be the best thing for you, unless they are causing significant problems).
 

HelloThank you for the question.It’s difficult to address your issues without physical examination. Capsular contracture is multi factorial, if you had CC with the implant behind the muscle, the chance of it happening again is high.Kind regards
