Subfascial vs Dual Plane Breast Implant Placement | Dr. Jules Walters Explains the Difference

In this Modern Minute, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters dives into a question many breast augmentation patients ask: What’s the difference between the subfascial and dual plane submuscular breast implant pocket locations? For over a decade, the dual plane (submuscular) approach has been the preferred technique—placing the implant partially under the chest muscle. It’s known for: ✔️ Lower rates of capsular contracture ✔️ A more natural teardrop shape due to muscle pressure ✔️ Extra coverage for the upper pole ✔️ Compatibility with Dr. Walters' rapid recovery protocol But what about animation deformity, where the breast implant moves when flexing the chest muscle? While it affects only a small number of patients, those who are very active—like bodybuilders or fitness instructors—may benefit from an alternative. That’s where the subfascial technique comes in. This approach places the implant under the breast gland but over the muscle, minimizing animation issues. It’s also great for narrowing a wider cleavage gap in certain body types. Dr. Walters shares when and why he chooses one technique over the other—and how your goals and lifestyle help guide the decision.
