The placement of a breast implant is often viewed as being either under the pectoralis muscle or above it. When it comes to being above the muscle in the so-called subglandular position it can only be completely in that position. But when it comes to the submuscular position, a partial or complete placement relative to Read More…
Background: The placement of breast implants is largely debated about whether it should be above or below the pectoralis muscle. While this is an extremely important decision, the implant’s relationship to the inframammary fold also has relevance. It will have an influence on how the augmented breast shape will look, regardless of the tissue plane Read More…
Breast augmentation is one of the most common aesthetic plastic surgery procedures and is in the repertoire of almost every plastic surgeon. Despite the commonality of this cosmetic breast procedure and the tremendous experience of many in performing it, it has an unappreciated (by patients) high reoperation/revision rate. While the medical literature reports reoperation rates Read More…
Background: Breast augmentation is completely successful at enlarging the breast mounds. While it is not without its potential complications due to being an implant placed in the body through surgery, by far its most common postoperative concerns are aesthetic in nature. Are the breasts the desired size and shape and how well do they match Read More…

Breast augmentation depends largely, if not almost completely, on a prosthetic device to create its results. There is certainly a strong influence of surgical technique which is not to be underestimated but, in the end, without a device there would be no result. (fat injection techniques not withstanding) The evolution of breast implant device Read More…
Background: Breast augmentation surgery is mainly associated with the size and shape of the implant, understandably so given its influence on the result. But the implant must be expertly placed in just the right location to have it exert its best effect. That is not always easy given the great variances in breasts between Read More…
Breast augmentation is largely defined by the implant that is used to create it. At one time in the history of this surgery, from 1991 to 2006, the saline breast implant was the only commercial implant available. Essentially being water in a bag, it has advantages of being able to be inserted through small Read More…
The presence of excess fat in most patients and its easy availability by liposuction extraction has led to the widespread use of fat injections for soft tissue augmentation. One of the most interesting and exciting areas of the use of fat injections is for breast enhancement. (FIBE) While most commonly perceived as a potential Read More…
Background: The popularity of breast augmentation surgery has much to do with its immediate effect at creating a larger and fuller breast mound. As the number of breast augmentation surgeries have continued to increase over the past decade, ‘older’ women are more frequently having the procedure. While once thought of as just a cosmetic Read More…
