Does submuscular or dual plane placement reduce strength significantly? (Photo)

February 4, 2023
Asked By:Bright100241 in South Africa, ZA

I am competitive sportswomen and seriously considering a breast augmentationafterhaving kids. I compete in triathlon and also love strength work in the gym. My main concern is loss of strength in the pectoralis muscles. Would dual plane placement or sub muscular implant placement result in the least loss of strength long term? Also, I very much dislike excessive ‘bouncing’ when running. What placement minimise bounce and long term sagging best?
