Indeed, when you come to our office for breast augmentation surgery, you have more decisions to make than just getting saline breast implants or silicone breast implants or saline breast implants and determining what size of breast implants you’d like to have. You may also have to make a decision or help make a decision about how the breast implants will be situated when they are placed. The two ways in which the breast implants can be placed are submuscularly or subglandularly.
Submuscular breast implant placement means that the breast implants are placed under the pectoralis muscle under the breast gland. Subglandular breast implant placement means that the breast implant is placed under the breast gland but above the pectoralis muscle.
So when you get Baltimore breast augmentation at our practice, which method of breast implant placement will be used on you?
Well, that decision will be based on numerous factors. Dr. Ronald Schuster will take into account your body type, the thickness of your skin in the breast area, the kind of breast implants used, and your particular aesthetic goals. Since everyone’s body is different, the technique for breast implant placement will be tailored to your needs.
