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?
