Subfacial Placement Vs Under/Over Muscle

Essington7278
The surgeon I am considering does a subfacial placement rather than over or under the muscle. I can't find reports on subfacial augs. This doctor says because it takes longer and is harder to do. My concerns are rippling, sagging and my age. I had 2 other consults, one doctor told me I will sag terrible in 5 years and another said me my breast tissue was the most elastic tissue of my body and would have an amazing result. Opinions on subfacial and who to trust. Can I have a pretty breast at 55
