Subfascial Breast Augmentation

The newest technique of applying the placement of anatomic implants at subfascial level assisted by endoscopy, subfascial breast augmentation has become a revolutionary technique. This succesful technique provides an excellent aesthetic outcome in breast surgery since it helps limit some of the roundness at the top of the breast. During the procedure the lining of the muscle on the chest is lifted up and the breast implant is placed beneath it which in turn gives the breast the most natural appearance.

This technique is especially recommended for:

• women presenting small breasts
• women after one or more breast feeding episodes presenting breast size reduction

The benefits using this technique include: avoiding implant deformation or distortion (as seen in the retromuscular position), leaving additional soft tissue between the implant and the skin, and minimizing implant edge prominence (inherent to retroglandular placement).
