In a dual plane augmentation, what holds the implant up (bottoming out?), and how does it increase the size of the lower pole?

katemasters
I have an almost non-existent lower pole to my breasts and was recommended a dual plane augmentation instead of an augmentation paired with a lift. I am pleased with this response from my PS, but I am concerned about the dual plane approach in relation to the look I want to achieve (a much fuller lower pole), as well as the risk of complications with bottoming out ( a terrible fear of mine).
