BREAST AUGMENTATION – SUB-MUSCULAR

Nowadays women are becoming more conscious about their physical appearance, specially their breasts. Breast augmentation, also known as breast implant surgery, is performed by plastic surgeons to enlarge a woman’s breasts for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes. Breast augmentation with sub-muscular implant placement arguably offers the most effective method of regaining firm and naturally shaped breasts.

Sub-muscular breast augmentation involves placing the breast implant behind the pectoral muscle behind the breast over the chest wall. Sub-muscular breast augmentation surgery is one of the safest and most successful cosmetic procedures when performed by a trained plastic surgeon in an accredited medical facility. Because this method of breast augmentation surgery can result in a more natural contour, it has been gaining increased popularity.

Benefits of Sub-Muscular Breast Augmentation

Because breast implants are covered by muscle, sub-muscular breast augmentation keeps the implants firmly in place and helps hide the edges of the implants, giving the breasts a more natural look and feel after breast augmentation surgery. Generally speaking, sub-muscular breast augmentation may be utilized for most women regardless of breast size. Placing a breast implant underneath the pectoral muscle allows mammography exams to be performed more efficiently. Sub-muscular breast augmentation lowers the risk of forming scar tissue near the implant thereby reducing the risk of capsular contracture. Sub-muscular breast augmentation may also reduce the chances of “bottoming out” because the implants are well supported by chest muscles. Bottoming out occurs when the lower curvature of the breast expands excessively due to lack of implant support.

Considerations for Sub-Muscular Breast Augmentation

Sub-muscular breast augmentation can deliver a beautifully contoured bustline. However, because sub-muscular breast augmentation involves manipulation of chest wall muscles it is very important to consult with a trained plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Carman has many years of experience performing breast augmentation using sub-muscular implant placement and has helped numerous Toronto breast augmentation patients attain natural, firm, and well-shaped breasts.
