✨Submuscular Breast Augmentation✨
A submuscular breast augmentation involves positioning the implant beneath the pectoralis muscle rather than directly under the breast tissue🍒
This technique offers several advantages:
▪️More natural appearance – The muscle creates a soft transition at the top of the breast, reducing visible edges or rippling.
▪️Better long-term support – The muscle helps hold the implant in place, which may reduce sagging over time.
▪️Lower risk of capsular contracture – Studies show a decreased rate compared to above-the-muscle placement.
▪️Improved imaging – Easier mammograms and more accurate breast-cancer screening, which is especially important for many women.
Submuscular placement is often recommended for:
🔹Women with thin breast tissue
🔹Those looking for a more natural shape rather than a rounder upper fullness
🔹Highly active patients, including athletes (although we tailor this based on muscle use)
