Dual Plane Placement

Using this method, the surgeon places the upper part of the implants below the thoracic muscle (pectoral muscle) and the lower part below the breast tissue. The term ‘Dual Plane’ is used because the implants are placed over two planes.

If you have a small amount of breast tissue, the upper edge of the implants are covered up by the chest muscle to prevent the contours of the implants from protruding unnaturally after surgery. The lower part is placed above the muscle, allowing sufficient extension of the skin and cartilage to create a more natural breast outline.

This method is most commonly used among Korean women without enough breast tissue.

Placement below the breast tissue

This method is used to place the implants between the breast tissue and pectoral muscle, usually when the patient has a lot of breast tissue and well-developed pectoralis muscle.

Among its advantages, not only it helps the breast move relatively more smoothly and the cleavage look more natural, but it also keeps the shape of the implants being affected by the movement of the pectoralis muscle.

This procedure is rarely recommended for young women because those with a slim body or with little breast tissue because the implants edges may become visible, showing indications of the surgery.

Placement below Fascia

Since implants are placed under the peritoneum that surrounds the pectoralis muscles, it is a hybrid method that has both the advantages and disadvantages of double plane insertion below lacteal gland.

This procedure is also difficult to apply to extremely thin women, but it is also the most effective solution for those with sagging breasts but with enough breast tissue.
