“Triple Plane” a new Breast Augmentation Technique for correction of rare implant movement

Portsmouth, NH - Dr. Lawrence Gray of Atlantic Plastic Surgery Center reports that he has many years of success in using the sub-muscular method for performing breast augmentation. Dr. Gray commented recently on an article seen in the August 2013 issue of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. “The method, described in “Triple-Plane Technique for Breast Augmentation: Solving Animation Deformities” for correction of specific problems sometimes seen after breast augmentation is a very useful technique.

“It’s an interesting modification of the under- the-muscle practice of breast enhancement, which is the technique I have used for many years. The triple plane technique can correct animation or movement of the implant which is caused by muscle contraction. Previously, patients with this rare problem had to have their breast implant relocated within the same breast, which created a higher risk of wrinkling, rippling, palpability and implant migration, especially in thin patients. The triple plane technique corrects this problem and keeps the implant in the sub-muscular pocket.”

The article describes a modification referred to as a “triple plane” technique for solving animation deformation or the movement of the implant by muscle contraction, a very rare event. “Movement or shifting of the implant has only been a very rare problem for me with the sub-muscular technique. In the handful of patients to whom this has taken place, the triple plane technique is a very good choice for correction of the problem. In these very rare cases, the implant can move when the patient has engaged in activities such as working out at the gym. The triple plane technique is then a highly useful tool for a plastic surgeon to have for a quick and lasting correction.

Breast augmentation, using the sub-muscular technique for saline, silicone, gel or shaped implants, remains highly successful in giving the patient natural looking results they desire. The over-the muscle method tends to tends to sag, have a higher rate of capsular contraction, a higher tendency to ripple and not give a natural looking appearance. In my opinion, the under the muscle technique remains the best choice by far, states Dr. Gray.
