Should I do subfascial or under the muscle? The surgeon I seen told me if I did subfascial he would be able to put the implants closer together so I wouldn't have as much as a gap.

Answer: Implant Position Under the muscle has clear advantages including lower rates of capsular contracture, less implant visibility/palpability, and a more stable result over time in general. I would highly recommend placing the implant below the muscle for those reasons and that you are relatively thin.

Answer: Do you workout? You can have excellent outcomes with either subfascial or submuscular placement of your implant. What will matter more is the skill and technique of your surgeon.

Answer: Subfascial vs submuscular implants Hello, I agree that it is often feasible to put subfascial implants closer together than submuscular implants. This is because if there is a large gap between where the pec muscles attach to your chest, the surgeon can't put the implants under the muscle and make them close together without detaching the muscle from your chest wall. Fully releasing the muscle over the implants would negate one of the main benefits of putting the implants under the muscle, which is having a thicker layer of tissue over the implants. The gap between the implants is an important consideration but there are many other advantages and disadvantages of these two pockets, such as different risks of implant rippling, palpability, capsular contracture, animation, etc. All of these issues would be taken into consideration by you and your surgeon before deciding on the best implant pocket for your unique goals and body type.
