Dual plane Breast Augmentation
Posted on March 15, 2010
Improves appearance of breast, increasing its size, with natural-looking results.
Breast Augmentation is done when breasts are small due to loss of volume due to:
- drastic dieting,
- pregnancy,
- breast-feeding,
- aging
Breast Augmentation with the “Dual Plane Technique”: Implants may be placed directly beneath the mammary gland or in a plane below the pectoralis major muscle.
Submuscular placement of implants was developed in response to problems associated with subglandular placement, specifically, capsular contracture and visibility of the edge of the implant.
Additional benefits attributed to sudmuscular placement include:
- reduced sensory changes in the nipple,
- decreased rates of capsular contracture,
- and ease of interpretation of mammographic studies.
All done with small thin scars that fade as much as possible with in 4 to 6 months.
A support bra must be worn night and day for about a month.
