I have little to no breast tissue of my own after breastfeeding so submuscular placement would be my only option if I want to seem somewhat natural. I guess the real question is would lateral displacement occur everytime I used my pec muscle? Or is it more of an issue with excessive use and repetition as with excersizing (like push ups or chin ups) or weight lifting?
Answer: Lateral displacement with submuscular placement Yes, extensive exercise of the pectoral muscle can cause displacement

Answer: Lateral displacement Hello,I find that lateral displacement is an uncommon problem. Some ways that your Plastic Surgeon can help you minimize the risk is careful dissection of the implant pocket, dimensional breast augmentation which uses precise measurements to ensure that your implants are the correct width and size for your body, avoiding strenuous upper body work for a set time after surgery and avoiding extreme, targeted chest exercises in the future. Many of my patients are fitness models and have no issues with their regular activity.Talk more about these concerns with your Plastic SurgeonAll the best

Answer: Breast Augmentation: Information Dear Ms. Aatocboobies,Thank you for your story and questions. Unfortunately with out photos and a exam of your tissues I can can only comment based your story, however I hope you find my comments helpful.Lateral displacement (malposition) can be caused by:1) over dissection of the lateral pocket2) larger base of implant for chest width3) early and aggressive exercise of the Pectoralis Muscle before the breast capsule is completely formed.I recommend that you schedule several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition ideally they are members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).I wish you my best and success,R.

Answer: Lateral displacement Hello, I don't find that lateral displacement is a problem with most of my patients who have submuscular implants. If anything, this is a more common experience of my patients who have lost a massive amount of weight and their breast tissue is very loose.
