I am 5’7 and 135lbs, athletic, and into weightlifting. I want to get a breast augmentation but worry about going under the muscle because of animation deformity and loss of strength. I don’t know if I’m a good candidate for subfacial or sub glandular, or if I need to go under the muscle to obtain better symmetry. I don’t have much upper breast fullness so my last consult recommended teardrop anatomic implants if I chose to go over. Also, I’m 28 y/o, no kids

Answer: Response An appropriately done sub-muscular dual plane breast augmentation should not lead to an animation deformity. If you are able to take a break from pectoralis major work for the recovery (at least 6 weeks), this surgery would not be a problem in the future to resume your athletic lifestyle. The benefits of a submuscular pocket and risks of a subfascial/subglandular pocket are something you should extensively discuss with a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon during an in-person consultation.

Answer: Breast implants Either above or below muscle would be fine. I don’t believe in such a thing as subfascial because the fascia is so thin in that area that it’s practically non existent. Teardrop implants have been a disaster from day one. They feel like plastic through the skin and can get turn on their own so that they no longer are symmetrical. You are borderline as far as needing a lift. Specific measurements would need to be taken
