The article at https://partingtonps.com/problems-with-under-the-muscle-breast-implants-and-alternatives/ examines the issues with under-the-muscle breast implants and alternative approaches, guided by Dr. Marshall T. Partington. Submuscular placement, where implants are positioned beneath the pectoral muscle, offers a natural look and lower capsular contracture risk but comes with drawbacks. Patients often experience prolonged recovery due to muscle manipulation, leading to increased post-operative pain and swelling. Animation deformity, where implants shift during muscle contraction, can cause aesthetic concerns, particularly for active individuals. Athletes or those with intense upper-body workouts may face implant movement, affecting comfort and performance. For patients with minimal breast tissue, implants may still be visible, reducing the desired natural effect. Alternatives like subglandular placement, above the muscle, offer quicker recovery and less pain but may increase rippling risks. Subfascial placement, under the muscle’s fascia, balances natural aesthetics with reduced muscle disruption. Dr. Partington emphasizes personalized consultations to align implant placement with lifestyle and anatomy. Visit the page to explore these challenges and tailored solutions.
