I have seen Dual Plane placements listed at different levels (ex. Dual Plane 1 [or 2, or 3, or 4]). From what I gather, the higher the number, the better lift effect it will give (based on patient before and after photos I have seen). Can you please explain the details behind the different levels in the dual plane method?
Answer: Dual Plane for Nipple Elevation Great Question. We use the Dual Plane technique on patients from around the country who are seeking improvement in their nipple position (like a breast lift) without the scars of a breast lift using just the implant. This is achieved by separating the pectoralis muscle from the overlying breast tissue. This allows the breast to move relative to the muscle. When the implant is placed under the muscle this forces the nipple up. it is like if you stand behind a curtain and then walk forward, the bottom of the curtain will lift up off the ground. The difference in the DUAL PLANE 1, 2 and 3 is how much separation is created to increase the amount of lift to fit your unique anatomy.

Answer: Can you explain the details behind the different levels of dual plane method in breast augmentation? This is a great question. It shows that you are really doing your homework.When a patient presents with a small amount of breast ptosis (sag) a dual plane breast augmentation is a very effective technique to help avoid the need for a breast lift and still allow the implant to be placed under the muscle. When an implant is placed under the muscle and the overlying breast has some degree of sag the muscle will hold the implant back and not allow it to fill the loose tissue at the bottom of the breast The word dual means two and the word plane refers to the natural separation between two layers of tissue. In the breast there is a natural separation between the breast tissue and the underlying muscle. During a dual plane augmentation the breast tissue in the lower part of the breast is separated from the underlying muscle. The muscle is then released along its entire attachment at the bottom of the breast. The muscle then moves upward like a window shade toward the nipple. The different levels of the dual plane method refer to the amount and extent of release of the breast tissue from the underlying muscle. For instance release of the lower one inch of breast tissue from the underlying muscle will give some degree of llift. If the release extends to or above the nipple a greater amount of lift is achieved. The level of dual plane augmentation needs to be individualized for each individual patient. With the restriction of the muscle in the lower part of the breast removed the implant is then allowed to fill the loose sagging part of the lower breast. This is a very effective technique to help prevent the need for a breast lift in a patient with a small amount of sag and still have a benefits of an implant placed under the muscle. This technique is also very helpful in the treatment of other conditions with constriction in the lower part of the breast.
