Sahar Mansour: Breast Implant Placement and Rupture Control – Subpectoral vs. Subglandular
Sahar Mansour, Professor of Radiology Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital, Cairo University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Breast Implant Placement and Rupture Control: Subpectoral vs. Subglandular
When considering breast augmentation or reconstruction, implant placement plays a crucial role not only in aesthetic outcomes but also in rupture control if the implant ages or fails.Subpectoral (Under the Muscle)
Muscle provides additional support, reducing stress on the implant.
More controlled rupture outcomes.
Lower risk of fluid migration if an implant bursts.
Longer durability.
Subglandular (Infront of the Muscle)
More exposed to direct tissue pressures, lead to faster wear over time.
Higher risk of fluid spreading beyond the capsule if rupture occurs.
Increased chances of capsular contracture.
Example Case credit, Kasr AlAiny Hospital, Cairo University. Implant Shell Degradation, submuscular placement of the implant, helped contain extensive effusion intracapsular rather than allowing it to spread into surrounding tissues. This reduced the risk of skin necrosis and ulceration, allowed time for planned intervention, gave the chance for implant replacement and saved the lady from unfavourable consequences of the extracapsular spread.
Have you observed differences in implant durability based on placement? Let’s discuss.”
