Breast Implant Placement Options

There are many options and considerations when deciding to have breast augmentation. Along with deciding what type of breast implants you want and what size, you will decide how you want the implants placed in your breasts.

There are three options for breast augmentation implant placement:

  • Subglandular placement
  • Submuscular placement
  • Dual-plane placement

Subglandular Placement

The breast implant is placed under the breast tissue and above the muscle with the subglandular placement. This placement is used for women who have:

  • Thicker breast tissue
  • A broad chest
  • Breasts that do not have a defined shape

The subglandular placement allows for more cleavage because the implants sit closer together. This placement is not recommended for women with little breast tissue. The breast implants will be more noticeable. Slimmer women who wish to have subglandular placement should choose to have gel breast implants because they better mimic the texture of natural breast tissue.

Submuscular Placement

The breast implants are placed under the muscles in the breasts. The implants are well covered and do not show easily. This placement is a great choice for women who:

  • Are slimmer
  • Have very thin breast tissue
  • Have little breast tissue

Dual-plane Placement

The dual-plane placement positions the top of the breast implant below the muscle and the bottom of the implant sits below the breast tissue. This placement solves several issues. The implants will not sit as high as in submuscular placement and it will cover the implant so it is not visible like in subglandular placement.

The dual-plane breast implant is highly recommend for women with sagging breasts or those who are combining a breast lift with breast augmentation.

Speak with a Breast Surgeon

You will want to have an initial consultation with an experienced breast surgeon before deciding to undergo breast augmentation. It is important for you to understand your choices in breast implants, breast implant placement, and incision placement before having the procedure. Only an experienced breast surgeon will be able to guide you through these decisions and help you decide what choices will work best for your body type and goals.
