Breast Augmentation For The Small-chested:

Plastic surgeons world-wide prefer their breast augmentation patients to have a bit more of body muscle and tissue mass in their chest area for good breast surgery results.

However, for those patients who wanted a breast augmentation but fell short on the required tissue mass, the submuscular implant technique was developed by cosmetic surgeons. This particular cosmetic surgery technique inserts the breast implant behind the chest muscle wall. This muscle wall consists of the pectoralis major muscle, the connective tissue in the breast area and the non-pectoral group of muscles.

The great part about this technique is its non-interference in a breast examination or mammography. The resulting shape of the breast is smooth and more defined as well. Since the breasts are separate from the breast tissue they are less liable to pose an obstacle to lactation.

There are certain drawbacks of this breast surgery technique though, the effects of which differ widely. Anesthesia is difficult to achieve during surgery making it important to tell your plastic surgeon about any inherited problems you may have. And as much as the muscles aid in keeping the implants safe, they are also known to push the implant to far down the chest.
