My surgeon has told me that you will always have an implant line with subglandular placement on anybodys anatomy. Please can anyone confirm if this is correct. Also is it ok to have subglandular placement if you have 3cms in the upper pole. He says more than 2cms in upper pole it’s ok to have subglandular. Also, with subglandular placement how long does it take for the breasts to stop being in pain and also how long until soften?

Answer: BA In general, subglandular breast implant placement involves positioning the implant between the breast tissue and the chest muscle. It can be a suitable option for individuals who have adequate breast tissue to cover the implant and are looking for a more natural appearance. However, it may not be appropriate for all individuals, and your surgeon will evaluate your individual anatomy and discuss the potential benefits and risks of each placement option with you. Regarding implant lines, it is possible for some patients to have visible lines or ripples with subglandular placement, but this can depend on various factors such as the thickness of the skin, amount of breast tissue, and type of implant used. In general, submuscular placement (beneath the chest muscle) may provide more coverage and reduce the risk of visible lines or ripples. Regarding the upper pole, having 3cms of tissue in the upper pole does not necessarily mean that subglandular placement is appropriate. Your surgeon will evaluate your individual anatomy and recommend the placement option that is best for you. Regarding the recovery period, the length of time it takes for the breasts to stop being in pain and to soften can vary for each individual and can depend on various factors such as the size and type of implant used, the placement option chosen, and the individual's healing process. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on postoperative care and what to expect during the recovery period. It's important to follow your surgeon's instructions closely to ensure a smooth recovery process. I hope this helps, best of luck !

Answer: Breasts You have very little upper breast tissue and the implant edge may be noticeable, especially if you choose a rather large size. Most women have recovered by six weeks and most are not using pain medication by the end of the first week. I would recommend going behind the muscle or fascia in you for a better look.
