Under-muscle implants require more dissection, however, the results may appear more natural. The pectoral muscle helps to conceal the edges of the implant to reduce palpability and implant rippling. That said, patients that choose over-the-muscle implants (subglandular) may have a slightly easier recovery. Placing the implants over the muscle is an option for women with enough existing breast tissue and some individuals with deflated breasts after nursing or pregnancy. Thin patients with little natural breast tissue typically have better results with under-muscle breast implants. The dual-plane approach is another option that combines the benefits of submuscular and subglandular placement. Our surgeons will recommend the best surgical technique for your needs.
