Subglandular or Dual Plane? (photo)

User Avatar

I'm 5'4" 110lbs, size 32B. I have grade-1 ptosis and my PS suggested I do moderate profile silicone 286cc subglandular. I have 4cm of pinch in the upper pole and I am a fitness instructor by profession. My PA is concerned about possible animation deformity with a dual plane. My concern is not getting enough fullness in the upper pole and ending up with a matronly or bottom-heavy breasts from this approach but I don't want to end up with snoopy deformity or double bubble either.
