Breast augmentation surgery has become a common procedure for plastic surgeons. The procedure has faced controversy and criticism, but a recent survey of women who have had breast augmentations performed shows that ninety-four percent would recommend the surgery to other women. Implants have become socially acceptable over the years and the process has become accessible to more women and it is safer than ever.

After a woman has decided to have augmentative surgery, she needs to do some research. One thing to consider is whether to have the implants placed above the pectoral muscle or below the muscle. Subglandular placement is between the pectoral muscle and the mammary glands. The subglandular placement is above the pectoral muscle.
