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.
Results
Good to excellent results were achieved in all patients with complete elimination of the dynamic breast deformity.
Conclusion
The submuscular biplane is a new and versatile pocket and is used to correct dynamic breast deformity seen following partial
submuscular augmentation mammaplasty.
