Submuscular and Subpectoral Position

Depending on how small the patients’ cup is and their amount of breast tissue, some opt to go with submuscular breast augmentation. This procedure involves positions the implant beneath the muscle, but not total behind the pectoral muscles. In most cases the pectoral muscle will cover about 2/3 of the implant; however, there are even some who choose to go for a complete submuscular placement--which can be achieved via the transaxillary, periareolar, or inframammary breast incision (I'll talk more about the types of incision on future entries).

Altough submuscular augmentation results in less cleavage, less natural breast movement, and longer recovery, I believe it’d still be the best breast positioning placement for I can live better with its cons.
