subpectoral

In breast implants, when the implant is inserted by the subpectoral route, more pain is expected.

It is distinguished from other species in that the spinal and subpectoral margins of the anterior-ventral plates meet at almost a right angle.

In Dr. Mariotti's language, it would take a "subpectoral augmentation with standard mastopexy."

This implantation technique achieves maximal coverage of the upper pole of the implant, whilst allowing the expansion of the implant's lower pole; however, "animation deformity", the movement of the implants in the subpectoral plane can be excessive for some patients.
