Dynamic Breasts: A Common Complication Following Partial Submuscular Augmentation and its Correction Using the Muscle-Splitting Biplane Technique

Khan UD (Belvedere Private Hospital, London SE2 0GD) Aesth Plast Surg 33:353-360, 2009^§

Abstract

Background

Dynamic breast deformity following partial submuscular augmentation is not uncommon. The complication is due primarily to the release of the pectoralis and the true incidence of this complication is not known. The submuscular biplane pocket is a new pocket and is used to correct dynamic breasts following augmentation mammaplasty in the partial submuscular plane.

Methods

After the first submuscular biplane muscle-splitting augmentation mammaplasty in October 2005, the author has performed 58 secondary augmentation mammaplasties for various reasons. Of these, nine patients showed marked dynamic breast deformity following partial submuscular augmentation and the submuscular muscle-splitting biplane was used to correct this complication.
