After researching quite a bit I'm almost positive it would be best for me to choose a subfascial placement. However, has it been established in literature (or through your own experience), that anatomical or tear-drop shaped implants have the same risk of rotation as in submuscular and subglandular placements? Or does the fascia decrease that risk, sort of like an internal bra? Thank you.

Answer: Implants in the subfascial plane The type of implant in the subfascial plane should be determined by the type of appearance that you are trying to achieve. The rotation of anatomic implants is mostly a result of the implant pocket dissection and not necessarily the pocket location. I would argue that the subfascial plane is just a subglandular plane that is cleverly advertised to be something more than it really is. You still might want to consider a submuscular or dual plane approach.I would suggest discussing these things with a surgeon that you trust. Reading and doing research is great. But, there certainly are times when the amount of information (much of which is contradicting) can really confuse even the best of us. I would propose that you will have the best results if you choose a surgeon first, listen to his/her advice, and then decide together what is best for you. This is a better recipe than deciding on a treatment plan based on your individual research and then finding a surgeon that will execute such a plan.

Answer: Anatomic implant location In my opinion subfascial placement of an anatomic implant does not decreases risk of rotation. The best prevention of rotation is a precisely executed pocket whether it's subglandular, in a dual plane or subfascial
