I have had implants placed sub glandular and ended up with capsular contracture. Many years later I had implants placed sub muscular and ended up with severe animation deformity (current situation). I am interested in subfascial placment as a possible way of helping to prevent these issues. "IF" subfascial implants ever had to be removed, would it destroy the fascia and cause other issues? Does fascia adhere to the implants making it very difficult to remove?
Answer: Subfascial breast augmentation No, subfascial breast augmentation does not place you at risk of secondary soft tissue injury or significant muscle injury any more than the other methods of breast augmentation as long as your surgeon has the skill to perform the operation well. Removing subfascial implants is as easy as removing sub glandular implants.

Answer: Implants If you choose smooth implants, no tissue adheres to the implants and removal is not disruptive to tissue. If a capsule needs to be removed, some tissue is removed, but it is mainly scar tissue.

Answer: Great question... Sorry to hear of your situation. In my own practice a subfascial pocket is my preferred first choice placement. In light of your previous sub glandular and current sub muscular placement, a fair amount of scarring can already be expected and it is difficult to predict exactly what outcome can be expected with either revision augmentation or subsequent permanent removal. As a rule, if you are in good health and your prior surgery was performed by experienced board certified plastic surgeons then the risk of significant post surgical scarring and deformity should be low. Unfortunately, the risk of capsular contracture is indeed higher in patients with your history of multiple prior surgeries, but that is a bell that cannot be unrung. If you are confident with your plastic surgeon, be sure he or she has experience with subfascial augmentation. Historically most plastic surgeons have performed subpectoral or dual plane with greatest frequency, and sub glandular, but subfascial is a relatively newer concept that not all plastic surgeons have embraced. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Would removing implants after a subfascial breast augmentation cause damage or other issues to the fascia? Removing breast implants after a subfascial breast augmentation may have some implications for the fascia, but the extent of these implications can vary based on individual factors and the specifics of the surgery. Here's some information to consider:

Answer: Breast Implants Placing your implants in a sub glandular position will resolve your animation deformity. It's very common to place implants in a sub fascial plane. If you were to develop capsular contracture in the future, removing this tissue will have no consequences. An experienced surgeon does this procedure frequently and is not difficult to perform.
