After Breastfeeding & weight loss my breast look slightly deflated.I'm missing volume on the upper pole.I don't want big breasts,I want fullness. Nice Round Breast.I'm considering something around 250cc, round textured silicone implants.The only thing holding me up is,I can't decide between subfascial & Dual-Plane placement,since I do crossfit.Having my muscle cut & lose strength scares me.I want great results & no more hanging boobs.I'm afraid subfascial placement will make them hang over time.

Answer: Submuscular vs subfascial We all have our own experiences and aesthetic ideals, which sculpt our practice patterns. In my opinion, basically every patient is a good candidate for submuscular implants but subfascial requires careful consideration and selection. A good candidate for subfascial (OR subglandular) augmentation 1) has enough breast tissue to cover the implant, particularly in the upper pole. 2) Desires small implants so there is less stress over time on the tissue, and 3) desires tear drop shaped implants for a less noticeable edge to the top of the implant. #3 is less important in the patient with ample upper breast coverage and many PS's have no issue with round implants in the SG or SF pocket. In your case, heavy exercise is the most compelling reason to consider going subfascial and it looks like you are a good candidate.

Answer: Dual plane Thank you for your question and photo. I recommend that you consider the dual plane method over subfascial. I tell my patients (even the most active ones) that this is the more ideal placement, and that they will need to treat their post-op journey like a pulled muscle. There will be pain and discomfort at first, but this will subside with time and you can return to your active lifestyle.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
