Does the muscle have to be "cut" for submuscular or "dual plane" placement?

Amandarn06
I have met with 2 Plastic surgeons. Both recommend under the muscle placement. One doctor (who has yrs more experience) says he will have to "disect" the muscle from the sternal border and may have to "weaken" or disect the bottom of the muscle to allow the implant to fill out my breast tissue due to sagging after nursing. The 2nd doctor said he would not have to cut the muscle and would only lift it, also that he wouldn't have to disect the middle. I'm not sure which to choose and which I need?
