My plastic surgeon (who has 40 years of experience with breast augmentation) has advised me that he rarely does submuscular/dualplane augmentation and that he prefers subglandular. He has assured me that despite the fact that I am thin (5'10 and 115 pounds), that a small implant (which will bring my A cup to a mid-sized/full B cup), will not cause any aesthetic issues such as rippling/deformities/ability to feel the implant/see the implant... True/false?

Answer: Subglandular versus Subpectoral placement of your Breast Implants? We may all have slightly different opinions about this, but I find that there are several advantages to placing breast implants under the muscle - lower capsular contracture rate, more natural upper pole, less rippling, and overall lower complication rates. There are very specific situations where a subglandular implant is better - competitive body builders for example. This is a complex discussion, but most of us would agree that in thin individuals, placement below the muscle is best is the vast majority of cases. You may want to seek a second opinion.

Answer: Subglandular augmentation I think it is never inappropriate to get a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon in your area. This will be the best way to truly make an informed decision. Both subglandular and sub muscular breast augmentations have there roles. The determination about which is best for you is based on soft tissue/breast, ptosis/droop, and desired outcome. Best of luck to you.
