The implant with orthodox technique is usually placed into the submuscular or subglandular plane. The subglandular plane usually
has implant edge visibility, especially in thin women, and causes a high incidence of fibrous capsular contracture, while
the submuscular plane can cause implant distortion, breasts that are too peaked, and a relatively long recovery period. The
subfascial plane for breast augmentation has many advantages over the conventional plane, such as rapid recovery, satisfactory
breast shape, and lower fibrous capsular contracture. Dissections of 30 breasts on cadavers showed that a pocket can be made
between the pectoralis major muscle and its pectoral fascia; the pectoralis major muscle remained intact, and integrity of
the pectoral fascia was preserved. The potential pocket between the pectoralis major muscle and the pectoral fascia can be
used as a plane for breast augmentation.
