How much higher is the risk of capsular contracture with subglandular breast implants than submuscular implants?
Answer: Higher capsule contracture with sub glandular. The rate of capsular contracture in sub glandular implants is generally higher than in sub muscular implants due to the highly vascularized muscle protecting the implant from the back side of the breast. Closely comparable rates of capsule contracture in the sub muscular placement can be achieved with a sub fascial placement of the implant, which adds a layer of fascia between the backside of the breast and the implant and can be an excellent option for patients who don’t want a sub muscular placement. Have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon about the best options for you. Best wishes.

Answer: Capsular contracture The risk overall of developing capsular contracture is relatively low. It is slightly lower with under the muscle versus over. There are other factors that can influence capsular contracture as well, such as an implant that is too large for the breast space. I've included a video discussing capsular contracture that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Capsular contracture in subglandular versus submuscular plane The risk is over double. The reason is that in subglandular plane the implant is in direct contact with the breast tissue which contains milk ducts and bacteriae live in milk ducts. So there is more risk of chronic contamination and development of a reactive capsule.

Answer: Risks Although the risk is fairly low, it is about twice as high in front of the muscle than behind the muscle.
