I have been reading about different placements for implants and subfascial seems like a perfect placement for me. I am very athletic, I have a slim, athletic body. I currently weigh 125lbs, I am 5'8 and wear a C30 bra. I am very interested in getting implants as soon as possible.
Answer: Breast contouring , #breastaugmentation #breastimplants Dear tsjx_Thank you for your question!The breast implant placement will depend on your preference,and the surgeon performing the surgery .When the implant is placed below the muscle- with muscle flexion- push ups, working out etc- the implant will be compressed by the muscle and will move to some degree in an upward , outward direction ( even if completely under the muscle. if the implant is placed in the sub-facial plane (under the gland)- in most cases , will give a very natural result. Fat grafting can be performed at the same time to shape the area around the implant if needed (allowing that you have fat that can be used!)With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: Subfascial placement of the implant is basically subglandular Fascia covering pectoralis muscle is very thin and does not provide any benefit over subgladular placement and may cause more bleeding that can lead to capsular contractures. I place all the implants in submuscular pocket (dual plane) this procedure has many benefits mostly better coverage of the impl,ant and less chance for a capsular contracture

Answer: Choose your plastic surgeon, not specific “technique”, carefully… Generally speaking, you will find that the most important decision/selection will be that of your plastic surgeon, not the precise “pocket” or procedure… I would recommend that you select your plastic surgeon based on ability to achieve the outcome you are looking for. Then, allow him/her to use his/her experience and expertise to achieve your goals. Selecting a plastic surgeon based on techniques utilized and/or trying to “micromanage” a plastic surgeon's technique is not a good idea, in my opinion. In my practice, I would likely suggest the use of the sub muscular (dual plane) position for most breast augmentation patients. Best wishes.

Answer: Under-fascia versus under-muscle in Breast Augmentation The term "Under-Fascia" refers to a technique in which the Breast Implant is placed over the pectoralis muscle but under a thin layer of tissue called fascia, which is essentially the "casing" over and around the muscle. Fascia is conceptually like the casing that holds a sausage together, and effectively keeps all the muscle fibers together. Fascia is very thin and is difficult to lift off of the muscle. I believe the goal is to support the implant with the cover of fascia, but the ligaments of the breast are a more natural support. In your case a sub-fascial placement would be equivalent to a sub-glandular breast augmentation. "Under Muscle" augmentation does cover the Breast Implant with more tissue to soften the contour of the implant somewhat, and also improves mammogram evaluations in most women and may decrease the risk of capsular contracture. Please review your options with your plastic surgeon to determine what is best for you!

Answer: Is there any benefit to having implants placed under the fascia? Or should I just go sub-muscular? Thank you for your question. I honestly recommend that you choose the best board certified plastic surgeon you can find and follow the recommendations of your chosen surgeon. Submuscular breast augmentation has many advantages and has been used for a very long time successfully. Subfascial is a newer technique and depends on adequate preservation of the fascia which is a very thin layer. If there is a break in the fascia then essentially implant is Sub-glandular.Again I recommend that you concentrated on finding the best surgeon to do your breast augmentation and follow that surgeon's advice with the technique that he or she uses. A good place to start you search is the Smart Beauty Guide which is available online.
