Is subfascial placement superior to subglandular in terms of reduced longterm complication rate and better longterm aesthetic outcomes? Is it true subfascial provides better coverage to the implant edge in a thin person (isn’t muscle fascia very thin)?

How do I decide as a thin person with mild tuberous breasts, who could get fat transfer to blend the implant edge?
