Answer: What type of implant? Thank you for the thoughtful questions. Dual plane and submuscular are typically very similar. The question is typically more a decision between submuscular (under the muscle) and subglandular (over the muscle). I prefer under the muscle due to better perceived capsular contracture rates and increased soft tissue coverage of the implant. As far as textured versus smooth round, after they are placed they should essentially feel the same. The principle reason to get a textured implant is in the hopes that it will decrease your rate of contracture. I typically only use textured round implants for revision surgery and not primary augmentation. Obviously this forum is meant to give you some general information. There is no substitute for an in-person consultation and examination with an experienced plastic surgeon who can discuss this all in greater detail with you. Good luck!

Answer: Dual plane or submuscular for me? I can't decide if I want round textured or smooth Thanks for your questions and pictures. Based on your pictures, it appears that you have reasonable expectations and should get a nice result with your surgery. Submuscular and dual plane positioning of implants are typically very similar especially in a patients such as yourself. Total submuscular placement of implants is very rarely done and I would highly suggest not going that route. As for smooth versus textured, they both can give nice results. There is some data suggesting lower capsular contracture rates with textured implants in a submuscular (dual plane) position. I think you will get a nice result with either approach.
