Downsizing implants: what are the benefits of subfascial vs subglandular? (photos)

April 11, 2023
Asked By:New80085 in Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia

53yo, 176cm, 90kg, broad chested. Space between breasts 12.5cm. 5 yrs ago I had 340/380cc implants (A/B cup to DD), subpectoral as recommended by surgeon due to breast tissue. End results are larger than I wanted, and when I use my chest muscles, my breasts look like loaves of bread on a shelf. I am SO self-conscious I avoid exercise. I want to downsize and go over the muscle. What are the benefits of subfascial vs subglandular? Is Motiva Anatomical TrueFixation recommended/used in Australia?
