Abstract
A variety of complications following augmentation mammoplasty can occur that require revisional surgery. The subglandular muscle splitting biplane conversion is useful for revisional surgery. The author describes the surgical anatomy, the breast dynamics, aesthetic considerations and history of augmentation mammoplasty, and the surgical technique. The unique nature of the upper submuscular and lower subglandular position of the implant in muscle splitting biplane has shown its capacity for natural, predictable, and long-lasting results.
