Animation deformity is caused by contraction of the pectoralis muscle against the breast implant, causing it and the overlying breast shape to unnaturally shift with muscle contraction.
What causes double bubble?
When an implant is subpectoral and has been lowered in a plane deep to the attachment of the pectoral fascia to the skin, it may create the appearance of a double bubble. A double-bubble deformity is the result of lowering the inframammary fold without obliterating the preexisting fold.
How do you get capsular contracture?
Sometimes, capsular contracture is caused by something other than the patient’s own body reacting poorly to the presence of breast implants. In addition to implant ruptures, it is now believed that something called “biofilm” often leads to the development of this condition.
What is the dual plane technique?
Dual plane involves placing the upper portion of the implant under the pectoral muscle, while allowing the lower half of the implant to sit directly under the breast tissue, over the pec muscle. It is neither completely ‘under the muscle’ or ‘over the muscle,’ but a combination of both.
What is Subfascial placement?
Subfascial breast augmentation places the breast implant beneath a thin layer of fascia on top of the pectoralis muscle and beneath the breast gland. I no longer attempt subfascial placement but prefers sub-muscular breast augmentation and as many cases as possible. …
What does a capsular contracture look like?
