The authors prefer subfascial plane implants to submuscular ones. Possible rotation of anatomic implants and the subsequent asymmetry when contracting the pectoral muscle are avoided. Pectoral muscle is not detached from its insertions, resulting in less postoperative pain. Likewise, the authors prefer a subfascial to subglandular pocket since the weight of the subglandular pocket and the glandular weight itself are borne by the skin envelope leading to breast ptosis development over time. On the other hand, fascia provides additional support to the subfascial implant, thus eliminating ptosis development and achieving good filling of the upper pole similar to the filling provided by subglandular implants.
