Choosing the Ideal Implant Placement for Your Body

Breast augmentation is a highly personalized procedure, and selecting the right implant placement is a key part of achieving the most satisfying and natural-looking outcome. Every patient brings unique physical characteristics and individual goals, which is why there is no universally correct option—only the one that suits you best. Generally, placing the implant under the muscle, known as submuscular placement, can provide several benefits. This method often results in a more natural slope to the breast, greater support for the implant over time, and clearer mammogram results. These factors make it a preferred choice for many patients and surgeons.

However, in certain cases, especially when specific anatomical features are present—such as minimal natural breast tissue or particular chest wall shapes—placing the implant over the muscle may deliver better symmetry or a more balanced appearance. That’s why the decision should never be made in isolation or based solely on general trends.

Ultimately, professional evaluation is essential. A trusted and experienced cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Joel Studin plays a vital role in guiding this decision. He takes the time to assess your unique anatomy, listen carefully to your aesthetic goals, and recommend the placement method that aligns with your long-term satisfaction. Making the right decision begins with having the right expert by your side. If you're considering breast enhancement and want results that look and feel right for you, a consultation with Dr. Joel Studin is the perfect place to start.
