Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon Q & A

Breast Implants Placement Under or Over Breast Muscle Effects Natural Look of Breasts

Breast implants are placed either on top of the muscle, entirely below the muscle, or partially under the muscle in a dual plane approach.   I generally prefer the dual plane, partial retropectoral approach because, in my hands, I am able to achieve a more natural, tear drop shape with this technique because it prevents the implant from being too high in position on the chest wall in a unnatural position.  Best advice is to seek a board certified plastic surgeon at surgery.org to set up a consultation to determine what is the best option for you.  Good luck!
