Breast Implants: Things You Need To Know About

If you are planning for breast augmentation in Dubai, there are many questions you are required to discuss with a board-certified plastic surgeon before making any decision. The major question about breast augmentation is "where the breast implants will be placed?"

Most of the patients don't know that there are different choices when it comes to breast implant placement. These implants may be placed under or over the muscles, and the following factors control the optimal implant placement for each patient, including:

• Body type
• Saline vs. silicone implants
• Implant size
• Individual goals
• Health

Professional plastic surgeons who have performed a huge number of breast augmentation surgeries will suggest the right position for implants. Moreover, patients must understand the advantages and disadvantages of the two different placement options.

Sub Glandular Placement

It is called "over the muscle" placement and is used where the implant is positioned between the chest muscle and the breast tissue areas. When the muscle positioning is done, implants lie below the glands of the breast.

Advantages

• Patients tend to have less movement of implants during physical activity.
• The patient will feel less discomfort right after the surgery.

Disadvantages

• The appearance can be more artificial now.
• Patients may also experience capsular contracture that occurs due to scar tissue. It usually forms around the implant tightens and squashes the implant.
• The reading may fluctuate during mammograms.

Sub Muscular 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.
• 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. 

Chest Muscle Role

Chest muscles play an important role in breast augmentation about the placement of implants. Each patient will vary in the amount of muscle and this could be a great factor in determining whether the sub-glandular or submuscular placement is the best decision to go with. In this situation, 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 most suited.
