Recovery for subfascial breast augmentation? Is this my best option?

J3nn84
After several consults, I've found an excellent top board certified plastic surgeon I get a long great with. He recommended subfascial placement as he felt they yield the best, longest lasting results. I'm 5'4'' 110lbs A cup wanting a natural C or a full B. Submuscular the only option at another consult. Was told that because it's faster, easier surgery to preform most surgeons will choose it. Is the recovery of subfascial less painful than the submuscular?
