With saline implants, the submuscular placement (under the muscle) is usually the best option. Also, patients who have little natural breast tissue or a history of breast cancer in their family usually choose submuscular placement.
A subglandular placement (over the muscle) is best with silicone implants. They also work well when there is plenty of natural tissue or when your breasts need a lift. Keep in mind with some women, either placement is satisfactory. You don’t have to make this decision alone – we will help you determine what is best for your unique situation.
