Dual Plane Breast Augmentation
Dual Plane Breast Augmentation is an “internal breast lift” using a breast implant. The dual plane avoids external incisions on the breast except for a small incision in the breast fold. The dual plane can help some patients avoid a classic breast lift if they have minor drooping.
Of our cosmetic surgery patients, seventeen percent of breast augmentations are done with a dual-plane approach to lift breast tissue, elevate the nipple-areolar complex, and release a tight breast crease. This is technically a breast enlargement procedure—our surgeon calls it the “internal lift.” It creates a breast pocket above and below the muscle (hence the term “dual”) where an implant is inserted. By releasing the breast attachments on top of the muscle, the breast slides upward around the implant. This technique avoids the more extensive scars of an external lift, and can be especially useful in fixing early sagging.
At our Minneapolis office, we utilize only the safest, most advanced, and most effective techniques. That said, we use only the very latest implant delivery system called STINGRAY BREAST AUGMENTATION for all of our breast implant patients. This newly released, cutting-edge system helps prevent biofilm (think hard, painful implant capsules) from forming. STINGRAY incorporates a new sheet technology to help prevent potential issues in the future so you can enjoy the natural softness of your implants over the years.
