Summary

This study found no significant difference in postoperative breast morphology between anatomic and round implants in dual-plane augmentation. Both implant shapes resulted in similar degrees of volume loss, offering guidance for surgical planning.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The selection between anatomic and round breast implants is crucial for augmentation outcomes.
  • Evidence comparing postoperative breast morphology between these implant shapes is limited.
  • This study addresses the controversy surrounding implant shape choice in breast augmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare postoperative breast morphology following dual-plane augmentation using anatomic versus round implants.
  • To provide data-driven references for surgeons selecting breast implant shapes.
  • To utilize 3-dimensional scanning technology for precise morphological analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving patients undergoing transaxillary dual-plane augmentation with implants <300 mL.
  • Grouping patients based on implant shape: anatomic or round.
  • Employing 3-dimensional scanning for pre- and post-operative measurements of breast dimensions and volumes.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences were observed in key morphological ratios (e.g., BH/BW, BHUP/BHLP, BPUP/BPLP, BVUP/BVLP) between anatomic and round implant groups.
  • Mean implant volumes and postoperative volume loss rates were comparable between the two groups.
  • Postoperative breast volume positively correlated with preoperative and implant volumes.

Conclusions:

  • For patients with breast dysplasia undergoing transaxillary dual-plane augmentation (<300 mL), implant shape (anatomic vs. round) does not significantly alter postoperative breast morphology.
  • Both anatomic and round implants demonstrate similar volume loss rates in this patient cohort.
  • The findings suggest interchangeability of implant shapes regarding aesthetic outcomes in specific augmentation scenarios.
