En position rétro-musculaire (derrière et en dessous des muscles pectoraux) : les prothèses sont insérées de manière à ce qu'elles restent invisibles et impalpables. Ce procédé diminue le risque d'apparition de coques et donne un aspect harmonieux quand il y a peu de glande. La convalescence est souvent plus longue avec difficulté à lever les bras. 1, record 1, French, - position%20r%C3%A9tro%2Dmusculaire
