Breast Augmentation – What Gives The Breast Its Shape?
The
breast consists of glands and milk ducts, surrounded by fatty tissue
which provides its shape and soft form. The elasticity of your skin
also contributes to its shape. As you know, certain factors such as
age and pregnancy can affect the elasticity of your skin and breast
tissue, which results in changes to shape and appearance.
During
breast augmentation,a
breast implants can be placed in two general locations, known as
submuscular and subglandular placement. Submuscular placement refers
to an implant that is placed partially or completely beneath the
pectoralis muscle, against the chest wall. In contrast, subglandular
placement refers to an implant that is placed beneath the breast
tissue, but above the pectoralis muscle. Your plastic surgeon will
help determine the implant placement that is best for you.
