If you’re considering breast augmentation in Dubai, there are several questions you will be required to discuss with a plastic surgeon before making a final decision. Among other important questions that you should ask during your breast augmentation is “where the breast implants will be placed?”
Most of the patients don’t know that there are numerous choices when it comes to the placement of breast implants. These implants may be placed under or over the muscles, and many factors control the optimal implant placement for each patient, including:
- Body type
- Health
- Implant size
- Saline vs. silicone implants
- Individual goals
Board-certified and professional plastic surgeons who have performed plenty of breast augmentation surgeries will direct the right position for implants. Moreover, patients must understand the advantage and disadvantages of the two different placement options.
Subglandular Placement
It is also known as “over the muscle” placement and used where the implant is positioned between chest muscle and the breast tissue areas. When the muscle positioning is done, implants lie below the glands of the breast.
Advantage
Patients tend to have less movement of implants during physical activity, as well as less discomfort right after the surgery.
Disadvantages
The appearance can be more artificial now. The reading may fluctuate during mammograms. Patients may also experience capsular contracture that occurs due to scar tissue. It usually forms around the implant tightens and squashes the implant.
Submuscular Placement
The second option is known as submuscular or under the muscle replacement of breast implants. This technique is used for the placement of the implant under the pectoralis major chest muscle.
Advantages
Patients may experience more accurate mammograms than before. The submuscular placement tends to generate a natural appearance and a reduced rate of capsular contracture.
Disadvantages
Some patients may experience discomfort after having the surgery with a longer post-surgical recovery.
The Role Of Chest Muscle
Chest muscles play an important role in breast augmentation with regards to the optimal placement of implants. Each patient will vary in the amount of muscle and this could be a great factor in determining whether the subglandular or submuscular placement is the best decision.
The anatomy of each patient must be factored in. For example, women who have strong or large chest muscles will be best for over the muscle positioning of implants. With larger chest muscles there will be a tendency for distortion as the chest muscles are flexed. In these cases, sub-glandular placement is advised.
