Boob Job Blog: Subfascial Placement, 5 days till D-Day

When I went into Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group for my initial consultation I had done a good amount of research and one thing I was “certain” about was that I was going under the muscle… even with my research I didn’t know about subfascial as it is relatively new(I couldn’t find the official date, let me know if you find out!). I was sweating like crazy in my robe and nervous to start and show them my boobs! When I opened the robe a sigh of relief came from both doctors and the office assistant Heather, I was a little confused and thats when I was told I was a great candidate for subfascial implant placement (their prefered method because of it’s natural appearance) which requires a good amount of breast tissue to work with. As I understand it, subfascial placement means that you have a large muscle (your pectorial muscle) and a smaller one that is basically the connective tissue- (I think)… the subfascial implant goes over the pectoral muscle but under the connective tissue so the top will blend nicely and avoid that stuck-on appearance you get when you go over the muscle. Another reason to go subfascial is that when you are fairly thin framed and you go under the pectoral muscle you can have what they call “Implant animation” which already doesn’t sound good. Implant animation is when you lift groceries or work out and use that pectoral muscle, your entire implant shifts under it and moves about, talk about awkward! Yet another reason, as if those weren’t enough, is with the subfascial technique, the recovery is much less painful and not as long becuase you don’t lift the muscle off the chest wall, and there is less risk of capsular contraction which I understand to be pretty common… So why doesn’t eveyone get subfascial implants? Why would anyone go all the way under or over the muscle? Because you need to have some breast tissue to work with. Thank goodness I’m not completely flat chested, and this option is perfect for me.

Read more in depth about this subfascial technique here, or I love this video for a walk through of the types, profiles, insertion techniques, incision locations, and a visual of how the procedure is done. (I don’t think they show the subfascial technique in this video unfortunately, the “partial unders” they show look different than what I understand subfascial to be and what the illustration above shows.)

Tomorrow find out what size I’m going… the CC debate..

With love from Hollywood,

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group... 6 days I found my doctors fairly quickly- I went to a few consultations with Dr.'s who had been recommended by women who's boobs I trusted- so to speak, but I just didn't feel that connection, that spark like, "This Doctor gets me, he understands my needs and wants, and I trust him" until I met this pair. The doctors, yes 'doctors' with an 'S' that I finally selected are Dr. Layke and Dr. Danielpour of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group. They work together for a more comprehensive and complete approach. I have always believed that two heads are better than one especially when it comes to something like this that's important. Don't you ever wish you had a right hand man as trained and skilled as you, to help you finish an important project? That's what these two have, in the operating room they both work, and evaluate together making sure everything is perfect- from every angle, in the end, you're essentially getting two amazing surgons for the price of one. This dream team has worked on several women I know, who don't look "done." In fact, if you saw them, you'd think they were born that way. They really understand how to make boobs look natural, and thats one of the reasons I selected them. Dr Danielpour and Dr Layke actually prefer a refined natural look, just like I do. (For some reason plastic surgeons in my mind before I met these two were scary and try to convince you to get all this unnecessary work done- case in point Heidi Montag) You need to find a doctor who is on board with your needs, and these two are perfect for me. To ensure a natural look they utilize the newest technology. The silicone they use is the new generation of silicone, which not only feels more natural and looks more natural, but if you cut it in half and squeeze it, nothing comes out, therefore no leakage, which is also safer. These two Doctors constantly give off the perfectionist vibe but in a totally excited way, they are so detailed and thorough and make everything easy to understand so all my questions were answered. Drs Layke and Danielpour are sensitive, professional and made me (and Roger) feel totally comfortable and excited the whole time. Not to mention they are young- so they have a steady hand, have impeccable hygiene, good posture, firm handshakes and soothing voices, and call me crazy, but those things are important to me in someone who will be modifying my body and easing me out of surgery.

  1. Hey pretty lady…ironically, I was doing a search for the 2013 Halloween Barbie (I’m an avid collector), and came upon your blog. Having already had 3 breast augmentations (I am going to be 32 next month), I couldn’t help but read your boob job section. I have had both under and overs, but not the sub fascia. Unders hurt like a b$tch! My last two surgeries were unders, both at 800 cc. My final pair are silicone though. So, to give you my honest opinion, it’s better to go bigger than smaller, even if by only 50 cc’s. I have friends who regret not going a bit larger. I myself started at 450 over’s, and then switched to a larger size years later. Best of luck with your decision! Remember, this is a very personal choice, try to ultimately decide on your own :)

    1. I am a barbie collector too :) Thank you for the advice!

      Hope you come back and keep reading!

      Xx

  2. Kier!
    I got my implants done with the subfascial placement as well (I’m smaller framed also, and did not have a ton of breast tissue) and not only was my recovery super quick (I barely took painkillers, even right after surgery) but they look more natural too. They look like real breasts, not bolt ons.
    Good luck and I’m sure you will be very pleased.

  5. Hello I’ve been doing a bit of research and came across your blog. I’m having my surgery in November still a little away. I have a question for you, I’m very slender, and 5’4 im not quite sure which would be better to get silicone or saline? I want them to look as natural as could be.
    Thank you!

  6. Hi Adriana, i know its late to reply back but i found this site a great reference to answer your question and serve as reference for others.. if you want to know which is better between the two i do prefer Saline Breast Implants.

    Saline breast implants consist of a silicone shell that is filled with a sterile salt water solution that imitates the body’s own natural fluids.

    I highly suggest to read this article – Silicone vs Saline Breast Implants https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgeryinc.com/procedures/silicone-gel-saline-breast-implants/

    hope this helps!
