Have you been looking into breast augmentations only to find that you dislike the appearance of unnaturally high and tight breasts? You are not alone. Many people interested in breast augmentation procedures are striving for natural results, and most achieve that by opting for subfascial breast augmentation. If you want to learn more about this popular technique, keep reading. The experts at Clinique of Plastic Surgery & Laser Institute have put together everything you need to know about subfascial breast augmentation before you head into your first consultation. Read on to learn more!
What Is Subfascial Breast Augmentation?
Subfascial breast augmentation differs from traditional breast augmentation surgery, and the difference between the two is that in the subfascial technique, the implant is placed above the muscle, but beneath the fascia, as the name suggests. Placing the implant above the muscle helps avoid the common complications and visual side effects of the traditional breast augmentation.
It is important to note that there are situations where subfascial breast augmentation may not be recommended. Those who have little breast tissue, are naturally thin, and individuals with broader chests may find alternate methods more effective in hiding the shape of the implant. Do not be afraid to ask your doctor what he or she recommends for your body type and augmentation goals.
Why Does Subfascial Breast Augmentation Look More Natural?
The implant for this method of augmentation is placed beneath the fascia, which means the implant is covered with thin padding that gives the body a more natural appearance. At the Clinique of Plastic Surgery & Laser Institute, we always recommend the subfascial breast augmentation, when possible, over the traditional breast augmentation to achieve the most natural results.
Benefits of the Subfascial Augmentation
Believe it or not, there are many benefits to subfascial breast augmentation procedures over traditional breast augmentation. Our patients love the subfascial method because, unlike the conventional under-the-muscle method, the implants do not move when moving the arms. Also, many women find that this procedure eliminates the need for future breast lifts and further enhancement with old age.
Alternatives to Subfascial Breast Augmentation?
Depending on your augmentation goals, there are alternatives to the subfascial method. The most common procedure for breast augmentation is the submuscular method. This method places the implant below the muscle in the chest. If you have a wide chest or minimal breast tissue, we may suggest opting for the submuscular method over the subfascial method. Those who have small breasts to begin with, will probably find the submuscular technique gives the most natural results. This is because the layer of muscle helps hide the shape of the implant.
