I have decided to have a breast augmentation and had 3 consults. 2 of the doctors suggest dual plane and 1 subfascial. I'm undecided which one is best for me. I am a golfer and heard with submuscular placement it is possible to see the implant move back and forth with movement. So if this is true would it be better to do subfascial placement? I am 55 and have dense breast tissue. I am small chested maybe a A+ B- with no sag. Also, what is submuscular versus dual plane? Thanks for your advice.

Answer: Dual plane breast augmentation versus subfascial placement? Thank you for the question. I think that is in most patients (including athletes) best interest to have breast implants placed in the sub muscular (dual plane) position.Semantics can be confusing. When surgeons talk about placing breast implants "behind the muscle", they are usually referring to "partial" or "dual plane" positioning. In other words, all of these terms refer to the same sub muscular (as opposed to sub glandular positioning) positioning of breast implants. Dual plane breast augmentation refers to the technique where breast implants are placed under the muscle superiorly and in the sub glandular position inferiorly. I think this is the best way to go for most patients. On the one hand, patients benefit from the sub muscular position with increased tissue coverage of the breast implant, less chance of encapsulation, less potential for rippling/palpability of the implants and less interference with mammography. On the other hand, because the implants are not completely sub muscular there is the potential for less “distortion” of the breast implants with pectoralis movement. Generally, in my opinion, the breasts also look better with breast implants in this position. I hope this helps.

Answer: Dual plane breast augmentation versus subfascial placement? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Due to your small frame and limited chest tissue it would be best to increase coverage of the implant with placement beneath the muscle. This also trends towards fewer complications. Hope this helps.
