Is it that one is over everything, implant directly under the skin and the other is only over the muscle with the breast tissues still over? It gives a round look to my 410lx and my breast looks like it has been "bolted on", specifically when I loose weight...
Answer: Subfascial implants The fascia of the muscle is very thin, and therefore most surgeons don't believe there's much difference between subfascial and sub glandular implants. There are claims that subfascial implants develop fewer capsular contractures, but this has not been born out as far as I know in too many studies. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified.

Answer: Subfascial Many surgeons, including myself, feel that there is not much visual difference whatsoever between subglandular and subfascial. The fascia is often tissue paper thin, and will not significantly affect how the implant looks. Placing it under the muscle completely will decrease the "bolted on "appearance. Really, the only person who should be addressing these kinds of concerns after a surgery is the surgeon who performed it. Only he or she knows all the details of the procedure, how it was performed, your complete history, etc. And, I'm certain he or she would want to know that you have questions that need answering. The safest, best thing for you to do is to call your plastic surgeon and discuss your concerns and questions with them, as this is most appropriate. I'm sure they will be happy to help!Best of luck!

Answer: How to get a natural looking breast implant?? Ask Dr Ellen No, it is not.This subfascial technique places the implant under the thin lining of the muscle, which is called the fascia. So the implant sits between the the muscle and it's superficial lining, both of which are below the breast gland.The "round" look of implants is typically due to 2 things: 1. the muscle is too big for your chest 2. there is not enough bulk of soft tissue padding over the implant.Hope that helps! If you're looking for the IDEAL implant, see the link below!Good luck,In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD

Answer: Implant placement Hello and thank you for your question. There is not much visual difference between subfascial and subglandular implant placement. However, there are several advantages and disadvantages to over vs under the muscle. Under the muscle has the advantage of lower capsular contracture rates, less risk of rippling, and better visualization with future mammograms. Most patients say that under the muscle also has a more natural look and feel. The size, shape, and profile of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: What is the visual difference between subfascial and subglandular over the muscles placement? Thank you for your question. I would expect that she was seen no difference between subfascial and subglandular breast implants. However the seventh fascial pocket could somewhat limit the movement of the implant throughout the pocket. If you are concerned by all means see your plastic surgeon for an examination.
