    Summary

    The new Tri-plane breast augmentation technique avoids cutting pectoral muscle fibers, preserving strength. This method offers aesthetic benefits and avoids the muscular deficits associated with traditional sub-muscular implants.

    Journal of clinical medicine·2026

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Breast Augmentation

    Background:

    • Sub-muscular breast implants often require cutting pectoral muscle fibers.
    • This can lead to reduced upper body strength and discomfort during daily activities.
    • Previous methods compromise muscle integrity for implant placement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a conservative breast augmentation technique.
    • To minimize muscle disruption during sub-muscular implant placement.
    • To evaluate the Tri-plane technique for breast augmentation.

    Main Methods:

    • The "Tri-plane" technique involves splitting, not cutting, pectoral muscle fibers.
    • This creates a pocket for breast implants while preserving muscle continuity.
    Keywords:
    Decreased performance, Post augmentation mammaplasty, Sub-pectoral breast augmentation, Tri-plane mammaplasty.

    Endoscopic Bilateral Nipple-sparing Mastectomy via a Single Axillary Incision with Immediate Pre-pectoral Implant-based Breast Reconstruction

    Published on: May 17, 2024

  • Anatomical review and literature search informed the technique's development.

    • Main Results:

    • The Tri-plane technique yielded favorable aesthetic outcomes.
    • Enhanced projection of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) was observed.
    • No significant reduction in arm strength (adduction/abduction) was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The Tri-plane technique offers a valid alternative for breast augmentation.
    • It combines benefits of sub-glandular and sub-muscular approaches.
    • This method avoids the muscular deficits common in other sub-muscular techniques.
