Implants positioning

 

beneath the breast gland

plus

Breast Implants on the breast muscle

1

The Shape of the Breast is more stable. The movements of the breast muscle, during sports, for example, do not cause movement of the breast implants.

2

Quick recovery.

3

Shape and position of the sub-mammary breast fold can easily be created as desired. 

4

Gives the specialist the ability to determine the exact final breast shape.

 

minus

1

If there is any degree of capsular contracture, it will become visible early.

2

An existing capsular contracture is more visible and more disturbing.

3

The risk of visibility of the implants is higher, especially along the border, by large-sized implants and by patients with thin skin and hypodermic tissue.

4

More difficult breast cancer investigation and mammography.

beneath the breast muscle

 

plus

Breast Implants under the breast muscle

1

More suitable for a mammograghy.

2

Fewer problems with breast cancer prevention and clinical investigation.

3

Capsular contracture is less visible (and less frequently visible).

4

Optimal covering of the implant. Shape and border of the implant are less perceptible.

 

minus

1

Reduced control over the final outcome and breast shape.

2

The shape of the breast can change with movements of the breast muscles. 

3

Risk that the implants may shift to the side, increasing the distance between the breasts.

4

Extended postoperative recovery.

refined & personalized versions

  By positioning beneath the breast gland

  • directly beneath the breast gland.
  • Between the breast muscle and the thin layer of connective tissue that lies upon the muscle. More complex operation. The implant is better covered, the borders less visible.

  By positioning beneath the muscle

  • Completely under the muscle: The implant is in the lateral and lower part optimal covered. However, the risk of a permanent upward shift of the implants is higher.  This version is more difficult for the specialist to determine the final breast shape and the final position of the implant.

  Dual Plane

  •  In this more complex version the implant is embedded under the muscle, and the muscle is isolated from the gland and finally shifted upward. So, with this version, the lower part of the implant remains situated directly beneath the gland, while just the upper part of the implant (where the risk of visibility of the implant border is higher) is covered by the muscle.
