Patient 02

Patient Summary

For this patient, we placed the implants in front of the muscle to maximise the lifting effect and minimise the risk of future sagging of her natural breast tissue. Contrary to what some patients may believe or have been told, implants placed in front of the muscle provide more lift than those placed behind the muscle.

This patient had sufficient breast tissue in the upper pole to cover the implant and prevent visible implant edges – a telltale sign of augmentation. If she had not had enough natural tissue in this area but still required the lifting effect, we would have used a dual plane technique (with the upper part of the implant behind the muscle and the lower part in front).
