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?

The size you have now is good, but I would suggest adjusting the pocket so that your implant sits better. Going up to 550 will stretch and thin your own tissue more, be heavy on your neck and shoulders, be more likely to sag and/or bottom out from the weight, and be less soft since more implant...
Don't go bigger. You have a nice size now. Bigger will be heavier on your neck and shoulder and more likely to sag and/or bottom out from stretching and thinning your own tissue. I am not a fan of the gummy bear since they are hard. I am not a fan of the teardrop implants for augmentations...
