I am interested in Sientra round textured implants for my upcoming surgery. Can they be used with a dual-plane method? It looks as though many doctors allow this, but one or two have strong opinions against it. What does the research say?

Answer: Sientra implants OK for dual plane or other options depending on individual I consider 4 options for implant placement: submuscular (which is dual plane because only part of the implant is covered by the muscle), split muscle (which I do most of the time because it gives upper pole coverage without the animation problems associated with dual plane), subfascial (which adds a little bit of support but not much coverage), and subglandular (which I rarely do because subfascial is better.) Sientra implants can be used with any of these, depending on individual circumstances.

Answer: Dual plane technique for breast augmenation The dual plane technique has to do with the creation of the implant pocket, not the implant chosen. I do this procedure frequently and a textured round Sientra implant is the one I use most commonly. I think there must be some miscommunication regarding other physicians strong opinions against it.
