What's differnce between under muscle & dual plane? Are they same? Can you go fully under muscle? Is dual plane "prettier", I got dual plane but need revision so wondering what's best next time. Also do doctors typically "tape" breast lift scars? My doc didn't and my periaerolar scars are widened. That seems to keep tension off but will it cause infection?

Answer: #BreastRevision #Breast Augmentation 44Wendall,Dual plane augmentation is very common. Its rare that anyone puts an implant entirely under the muscle because it tends to stay too high. Scar widening can happen irregardless of whether you tape your incisions or not. I would follow up with your plastic surgeon to discuss what is happening.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

Answer: Under the Muscle vs Dual Plane BA For cosmetic Breast Augmentation, the dual plane technique refers to the implant being partially beneath the pectoralis muscle. As the lower part of this muscle is above the lower lateral part of the breast most Subpectoral implants are in fact to a degree dual plane although erroneously often called total submuscular. However, the degree of the implant is beneath the muscle on top and soft breast tissue below can be altered by making the submuscular pocket higher up the muscle leaving some of it below the implant below and some above. The advantage of this is to expand the lower pole of the breast if short or more often for mild drooping breast correction.
