    just found this on the internet hun xx

    Partial Submuscular (also Known as Dual Plane) Breast Implant Placement

    While this placement is known by several names as noted below, they all refer to placement of the breast implant partially below the chest muscle. During breast augmentation, your plastic surgeon places the breast implant partially below the muscle. The lower half of the implant is not covered by muscle in this type of placement while the upper half is covered. This placement is also referred to as retropectoral or dual plane. Sometimes plastic surgeons and others refer to this placement as submuscular or subpectoral but these terms can also apply to the next placement, complete submuscular. See illustration at left for details. Note how the bottom portion of the breast implant is not covered by the muscle.

    Pros of Partial Sub-muscular (Dual Plane) Breast Implant Placement

    Lower risk of capsular contracture

    Lower risk of visible rippling although palpable or visible rippling is possible at the bottom of the implant which is still covered only by skin or tissue (see illustration at left).

    Cons of Partial Sub-muscular (Dual Plane) Breast Implant Placement

    Less natural appearance in women with sag. Breast implant is positioned in a place above where sagging breast tissue is. May create an appearance of two bulges, rather than on breast (known as double bubble).

    Implants take longer to “drop” after surgery.

    Flexing of muscles during exercise can contract implant into unnatural appearance.

    Rippling still possible on bottom of implant.

    Lack of support for weight of implant at the bottom creates risk of needing a lift later despite placement of top of implant under muscle.

    most unders are partials, what “look” do you want to achieve? xx

    generally unders/partial achieve a more natural look and overs achieve a more fake/round look, but this isent always the case as everyones differant xx

    probably best to go with your surgeons first choice then and if thats the look you want overs sound like a good choice and some of the overs ive seen on here are absolutely fab! xx

    I too was given the choice but went for unders as there is (apparently) less risk of rippling and similar complications. I’ve seen very natural looking overs too xx

    What size are you to start with gem, do you have much tissue? I would have had unders but Mr T said I had enough tissue for it not to create a look where you could see the edges of the implant. I’m only a 34B to start with. I also do quite a lot of exercise so was worried I might damage unders. Which surgeon are you goin with? x

    I had overs and they look quite natural. Tina s do too!!! I think if u have enough tissue and you want a natural look to go over but your surgeon will know what is best for you!!!

    @ jessica rabbit hi hun im a 34c n he said i have a lot of breast tissue, i also exercise a lot aswell does this make a difference to unders then? im goin with dr falladhar hun he was very nice n feel rele comfortable with him x

    Menu

    I’m not sure but I didn’t like the idea of lifting any weights and my muscles squishing down the implant but thatis probably just in my head as I’m sure lots of girls who have unders still exercise just fine. I’d go with his recommendation, if you’ve asked for a specific look and size they’ll advise you based on that. When are u booked in? If u can’t decide see him again and discuss it one more time, I’m doing that cause I couldn’t decide on size x x x
