My implants are fully sub muscular according to my surgeon. They are riding very high and my tissue is sitting at the bottom. Can someone describe the difference between sub muscular and dual plane to me? Does one require more muscle release than the other? What would need to be done to be dual plane?
Answer: Implant plane Dear Feelinglost16,

Answer: Dual Plane By creating space above the muscle the breast can be more perfectly centered over the implant using sub muscular augmentation. This is effective in mildly ptotic breasts. Releasing the muscle is standard practice in sub muscular augmentation

Answer: Submuscular versus dual plane pocket Hello, inserting an implant in a typical submuscular / subpectoral pocket only involves releasing a small amount of muscle to gain access to the space deep to the muscle, plus some muscle fibres are usually released around the borders of the pocket. In contrast, a dual plane pocket typically involves releasing the pectorals muscle completely along the lower aspect of the breast (inframammary fold). The goal of making a dual plane pocket is to allow the implant to settle lower within the breast, rather than being held up by the muscle.

Answer: Implants Typically, the muscle does not fully cover the implants, but covers the upper and inner portion of your breast implant. You may have formed a capsule that has not allowed your implants to drop. That can be fixed.

Answer: Breast implants As far as I’m concerned submuscular and dual plane are the same thing. There is not really any muscle to cover the implant in the lower outer part of the breast so only part of the breast gets covered with muscle anyway
