DEF

[Posición de un implante, el cual] es colocado detrás de la glándula mamaria y por delante del músculo pectoral mayor.

CONT

Independientemente de la vía de abordaje, podemos colocar la prótesis mamaria por encima o por debajo del músculo pectoral. A) Por encima del músculo pectoral: la prótesis esta justo debajo de la glándula mamaria, por lo que se denomina colocación subglandular. Esta posición suele emplearse en pacientes que disponen de tejido glandular mamario suficiente, pues sino la prótesis puede palparse muy superficialmente.
