I live an active lifestyle. I enjoy weight lifting and cardio and also am a student physical therapist, so I have a very active occupation. Two PS's recommended submuscular placement due to my minimal breast tissue and goal for a natural look. The third PS recommended subfascial placement because it would allow more cover and support than subglandular without the animation deformity of submuscular, which he thinks will interfere with my active lifestyle. Any advice on which route to take?

Answer: Implant placement Dear Helpful492025, I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time when they are protected under the muscle. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Breast implants I have never understood this concept if subfascisl placement. The fascia if the chest muscle is so thin that it hardly even exists at all. I agree with submuscular placement.
