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: Breast augmentation When electing subglandular placement your surgeon needs to evaluate if you have adequate tissue to disguise the edge of the implant. In patients like yourself who are thin, submuscular placement is often recommended to allow the muscle to cover the top portion of the implant. As far as recovery, typically patients are able to return to non physically demanding jobs after 5-7 days. Lifting restrictions are commonly in place for about 6 weeks. The "hard" feel gradually improves as swelling resolves. The majority of swelling is gone by three months.

Answer: Subglandular implants Thanks for your question! With how thin and fit you are, I would suspect that you will be able to see the seam of the implant. I do think that a submuscular approach would make more sense for you. Good 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.

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.
