| Guide to Breast Implant Placement | There are three locations, breast implants can be placed in behind the breast. These are: subglandular breast implant placement, partial submuscular breast implant placement and complete submuscular breast implant placement.
As for the best implant placement location, it mostly depends on the woman’s individual anatomy, the size of the breast implant, as well as on some other factors, which have relation to the goals and expectation. However, it is necessary to mention, that it is only up to some board – certified and highly experienced plastic surgeon to take final decision as for the breast implants’ placement.
Subglandular Breast Implant Placement means that the breast implant is located under the breast tissue, though above the muscles and fibrous tissues, which line the front of the ribs and the chess wall.
As for the breast anatomy, related to this kind of breast implant location, it should be noted, that woman’s breasts consist of some soft tissue, which gets extended over and beyond the upper chest pectoral muscles. The breast itself comprises a complex group of such tissues as glandular, fatty and fibrous tissues. The breast is located over the pectoral muscles of the chest wall, and it is attached to it by fibrous strand, which is called Cooper’s ligaments. And it is the fatty tissue, located in the breast, which provides it with a soft consistency. This fatty tissue gets stretches throughout the breasts and it is also located around the glands and fibrous tissues.
Partial Submuscular Breast Implant Placement means that the breast implant is located behind the breast tissue and partially under the pectoral and other chest muscles.
As for the breast anatomy, related to this kind of breast implant location, it is necessary to mention, that a woman’s breast is soft tissue, which extends over and beyond the pectoral muscles of the upper chest. During this kind of breast implant placement procedure, the lowest part of the pectoralis major muscle is being cut in such as way that the upper part of it becomes deeply beneath the muscle, though the lower part appears to be beneath the breast (subglundular).
Complete Submuscular Breast Implant Placement means that the implant is located behind the breast and the major muscle groups of the chest area.
As for the breast and chest anatomy, related to this kind of breast implant location, it should be mentioned, that woman’s breast is a soft tissue, extending over the muscles of the upper chest. It is positioned over the chest wall pectoral muscles and is attached to it by the fibrous strands, which are called Cooper’s ligament. The fatty tissue, which gets extended throughout the breasts, and which surrounds the glands and fibrous tissues, provides the breasts with soft consistency. There are two groups of muscles, located behind the breast. These muscles are called the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. As for the pectoralis major muscles, they are attached to the upper arm area and get stretched out across the chest, just like a fan. Talking about the pecroralis minor muscles, they are attached to the shoulder blade, called scapula, and get stretched down to the very ribs. In addition, there are abdominal muscles, which stretch from the lower part of the stomach and up to the middle of the chest. The serratus muscles are extended from the frond surface of the ribs and to the shoulder blade. The muscle fascia is how the covering for the muscle tissues is called.
It is extremely necessary to consult a surgeon before deciding to have the complete submusclar implant placement technique conducted, as it requires the most skill and training for plastic surgeon to be able to master well.
