My PS recommended BA with no lift required, 400-440cc mod plus silicone in a subglandular plane. He says I do not need a lift as I have good nipple placement and pass the pinch test easily. He did say he will go below the muscle if I want, but he doesn’t see a reason to. I’ve been considering both options and am most concerned about capsular contraction and easy/fast descending breasts with no muscle support. Yet if I request dual plane, I’m concerned with snoopying. Should I stick w/ overs?

Answer: Less capsular contracture under. Under is good. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, if interested, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Implant placement Dear aericka54, 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.
