Breast Implant Placement

    DENVER, CO, April 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A significant weight loss, having a baby and breastfeeding or aging and gravity, almost always affects the volume and shape of your breasts. Breast implant surgery has the ability to return volume, firmness and shape to your breasts and allows you to once again achieve the pleasing proportions you previously had, or always wanted. Breast augmentation surgery can make your body proportions appear more symmetrical, your clothes fit better and improve your self-esteem and self-confidence.

How is the Breast Implant Placed?

Breast implant placement is usually accomplished either submuscularly or subglandularly during breast surgery. The best choice for your particularly situation should be decided by you and your plastic surgeon after an initial thorough evaluation, examination and discussion of the risks and complications as well as the benefits of each procedure.

What Does Submuscular Placement Involve?

A submuscular placement of the breast implant involves placing the breast implant beneath the pectoralis muscle. One third of the breast implant is placed behind the tissue that connects the muscles of the chest, which then acts as a sort of internal "support bra" for your breast implant. This method is safe and effective and offers the most natural appearing result. A submuscular placement of the breast implant reduces the risk of capsular contracture, which is a hardening of the tissue around the breast implant and is an undesirable complication. Submuscular placement of the breast implant allows for more accurate mammogram readings for you in the future as well.

What Does Subglandular Placement Involve?

A subglandular placement of the breast implant involves placing the breast implant beneath the breast tissue, but over the chest muscles. Although this method is quicker and easier than a submuscular placement and involves less recovery time, the risk of capsular contracture does increase with this procedure.

If you are considering breast implant surgery it is vitally important you choose a highly trained, board certified plastic surgeon you feel confident and comfortable with who takes the time to discuss the risks, complications, benefits and your concerns with you in a caring and understanding manner.
