Abstract
Dual-plane breast augmentation is a relatively old technique in aesthetic breast surgery being performed in different times by different surgeons in different ways, with different names. The author discusses the dual-plane types and describes the technique. Retrofascial means beneath the pectoralis fascia and retroglandular means beneath the deep layer of superficial fascia or glandular fascia plane. The author has suggested a new classification according to the anatomical structures found in front of the implant, starting from cranial level to caudal level that differs from Tebbetts’ classification.
