I live in Toronto, Canada and read an article on Pubmed about Dr Umar Khan's biplane implant placement technique. He's a UK doc that developed this technique in 2007. I was wondering if there are any doctors in North America, or even Toronto, that practice this technique. It sounds like it would be a better option over dual plane, resulting in no movement/displacement when the pectoral muscle is flexed. This is important to me as a figure competitor. I don't have enough tissue for subglandular.
Answer: Which technique is best?
If you're truly into competitive sports, the form stable textured anatomic implants were designed for people just like you. Even with minimal coverage, they do not wrinkle as much (some people say they don't at all but I find that difficult to believe). Their temperature changes slowly so be forewarned if you're out in the cold. Also, these implants do not move so when you lay down, they stand straight up.

Answer: Dual plane or bi-plane augmentation
The procedures you mention are one and the same. As a bodybuilder you know the anatomy as the pectoralis is present only under the upper half of the breast. Under the muscle can only be under just so much to keep the implant centered in the breast. Any muscle coverage will deflect or deform an implant and tradeoffs have to be considered in your sport. Perhaps a smaller cohesive subglandular anatomic gel?
