What’s the difference between partials and unders?

Is there really any difference between partials and unders? It’s so confusing I’ve read so many different opinions saying partials are basically the same as unders. I know they say it’s half under and bottom of the implant is on top of the muscle but I’m not sure.??

Following!

I asked my surgeon this and it’s the same thing. The implant is partially under the muscle which means the top of the implant will sit under the muscle and the bottom under breast tissue. Fully under muscle are only done on people for example who have had a mastectomy. If you read about unders it means partially under so yeah same thing xx

It’s not the same fully under is under your chest muscle
Parts are under the muscle at the top and come over at the bottom

Different placements

They will use fully under muscle wear they can as it’s less risk of problems and also use it on girls with very little breast tissues or uplift girls they can only place implants under 450 cc xx

When I did my research, I found that a lot of people who said unders actually had partials! I think unders are actually pretty rare! 🙂

Unders are used for women who’ve had mastectomys as they have no fat or breast tissue therefore need the full coverage. Unders is the same as partials when it’s just for cosmetic reasons as no girl would need the full muscle coverage even with minimum breast tissue. I’ve suffered the same confusion!!! Haha x

1. What are my breast implant placement options?
In general, breast implannaturalts can be placed directly under your breast tissue (subglandular or over-the-muscle placement), under your pectoral muscles (submuscular or under-the-muscle placement) or behind your breast tissue and partially under the pectoral and other chest muscles (partial submuscular implant placement).

2. Should my implants be placed over or under the chest muscle?
This decision should be made with your surgeon based on your anatomy and your preferences. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. If you have very small breasts and relatively thin skin, you may need to go under the chest muscle because this will provide more padding between the implant and the skin, and provide a better cosmetic result.

3. What is the difference between breast implants placed over the pectoralis muscle and those placed underneath it?
If your implants are placed over the muscle, the top edge of the implant will be visible, producing a distinct cleavage line that extends up around the top of the breast. If your implants are placed underneath the muscle, the upper edge of the implant will be less distinct.

4. When should you place the breast implants behind the muscle?
If you are thin

5 Does the rate of capsular contracture vary with implant placement?
It depends who you ask. Some sreducedurgeons believe that the incidence of capsular contracture can be if the breast implants are placed under the muscle because of the constant massage that the implant receives from the muscles. The truth is that capsular contracture is unpredictable and can occur with any type of implant placement.

6 Can I change my implant placement with revision breast augmentation surgery?
Yes, but if you switch to an under-the-muscle implant from an over-the-muscle implant, expect more discomfort than during your previous surgery.

7 Is symmastia and displacement more common among active people with under-the-muscle breast implants?
Your activity level and the placement of your implants will not affect your risk of synmastia, a condition which occurs when the two breast implants touch in the middle of your chest. This can happen if your breast implants are too large, or if there is too much loosening of the muscles at the breast bone (over-dissection). Revision breast augmentation may be needed if you develop synmastia implant displacement, among other reasons.

10 How long does it take for breast implants to drop with under-the-muscle placement?
Your breast implants should drop slightly within a few weeks or months of your surgery. This varies based on several factors, including your breast implant size, its surface and your muscle tone. That said, implants that are placed over the chest muscles may drop sooner than those placed underneath the muscle. Some surgeons may suggest that you use a strap that is wrapped around your upper chest, under your arms and over the top half of your breasts to encourage dropping. Massage can also help. Talk to your surgeon.

11 Which breast implant placement best masks rippling?
Implant placement does not necessarily affect your risk of visible or palpable rippling or wrinkling of your implants. Rippling may be more common or obvious with saline-filled implants or in women with thin breast tissue. Discuss your personal risk factors with your surgeon.

12 Does implant placement affect breast cancer detection?
In general, breast implants can obscure the mammogram or breast X-ray images, which may interfere with the detection of breast cancer. Protect yourself by asking for a referral to a clinic where radiologists have experience reading mammograms of women with breast implants. Make sure to tell the staff members that you have breast implants. Under-the-muscle placement of breast implants may be less likely to obscure your mammogram than above-the-muscle placement. Read about this important subject in the Mammograms and More Section. A diagnosis of breast cancer would require breast implant removal.

This is so helpful girls, I was so confused thank you! Xx

Glad it helped you sweetie ????????

Partials are done so they look more natural so there not as round at the top x
