Still being told breast implants should go under the muscle?

Breast augmentation in Tallahassee has been stuck in the same conversation for decades: over or under the muscle. But patients deserve better than outdated choices. The modern answer is subfascial breast augmentation — a refined technique that delivers natural results, less downtime, and avoids many of the compromises that come with traditional methods.

1. Why “Under the Muscle” Isn’t Always Ideal  

Placing implants beneath the muscle can create challenges: more post-op pain, a longer  recovery, and visible distortion (animation deformity) when flexing. While under-the-muscle  placement has its place — particularly in revision cases or patients requiring a large lift with  their augmentation — it isn’t always the best choice for primary breast augmentation.  

2. The Subfascial Advantage  

Subfascial placement gently elevates the fascia, a thin layer covering the chest muscle, and  positions the implant beneath it. This allows the implant to sit naturally, creating a soft,  seamless contour while avoiding many drawbacks of submuscular placement. The result:  smoother recovery, reduced discomfort, and natural movement without “fake” signs.  

3. Training Shapes Technique  

Subfascial augmentation requires a surgeon with specialized training in modern breast  surgery techniques. Fellowship training in aesthetics gave Dr. Clark the opportunity to refine  this method and bring it to Tallahassee — offering patients results that feel elegant, balanced,  and timeless. And the proof is in the results: our gallery showcases the happy women who’ve  undergone subfascial breast augmentation (unless otherwise noted).  

Breast augmentation isn’t just a choice between techniques — it’s about finding the methods  and the surgeon that delivers the best balance of recovery, comfort, and aesthetic outcome.  For many women, subfascial breast augmentation offers that balance.
