What are some new breast augmentation techniques that could become more widely used in the future?

More and more surgeons are using Fat Injections to improve the results of Breast Augmentation.

I believe right now this is the most important new technique that we discuss and it is one that can be used in conjunction with breast implants to improve results or as a stand only treatment for women who want a more distinctive crease on the breast.

Great question, and there are some exciting things that could become more common in the future for breast augmentation. Subfascial implant placement seems to be increasing in popularity, and preserves the pectoralis muscle in its anatomic place which helps prevent animation deformity and is good for very active patients. It is an improved "above the muscle" option compared to old subglandular implant placement. Hybrid augmentation with implants and fat, or just fat transfer alone for breast augmentation are also becoming more popular. Hybrid augmentation can help with upper pole fullness or cleavage, or just create a softer breast with a smaller implant. Fat transfer alone avoids implants completely and uses only tiny stab incisions rather than leaving typical breast augmentation scars.

Rippling rates were shown to be similar between saline and silicone implants, in the first objective scientific study in June 2020 in PRS journal by Dr. Eric Swanson. He proved this by ultrasound testing and outcome surveys comparing smooth saline and silicone implants. I published my overfilling experience in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal 2021, which you can read in the link below. I also describe other advantages to the saline implant.
