Learning Objectives: After reading this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Cite the key concepts in the process of breast augmentation that optimize outcomes; 2. Cite key components of tissue-based planning for implant selection; 3. Discuss complications and risks of breast augmentation. Summary: Breast augmentation remains one of the top surgical proce­dures performed by plastic surgeons. Current literature supports the concept that breast augmentation outcomes are optimized using a concept of “the process of breast augmentation.” Breast augmentation is often thought of as a surgical procedure; however, the nonsurgical aspects of the procedure are more important for optimizing outcomes and minimizing reoperation and complications. The process of breast augmentation includes patient edu­cation, tissue-based preoperative planning, refined surgical technique, and defined postoperative management. This CME article reviews and discusses the current relevant topics and issues surrounding breast implants. There are also supporting videos to enhance the reader’s experience. CME ques­tions are present at the end for a self-assessment. (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 130:

The two main types of breast implants in use today are silicone or saline, both with outer silicone elasto­mer shells. Saline has been used predominantly in the United States because of the silicone controversy of the early 1990s and the moratorium on the use of silicone implants between 1992 and 2006.

Nevertheless, the silicone moratorium in the United States prompted the widespread use of saline implants not seen in other parts of the world where silicone had not been banned. Saline has long been seen as second choice to silicone because of problems with deflation and underfilling and overfilling, giving rise to unnatural feel and texture.
Other implant types emerged as alternatives to sili­cone as a result of the silicone scare. These include Trilucent (soybean oil) implants, marketed as unique because of their “natural” composition and radio-

Silicone Gel Implant Moratorium in the United States in 1992
In 1992, silicone implants were eectively removed from use other than for reconstructive or revision pur­poses in a trial setting. The silicone controversy arose as a series of high-profile media cases alluded to com­plications following breast augmentation with silicone implants. The complications reported were largely alleged systemic autoimmune diseases; however, exten­sive population studies worldwide since have failed to prove any link between silicone implants and any auto­immune or other disease process. The silicone implants were available for reconstruction and revision/replace­ment subsequently as multiple U.S. Food and Drug

MODERN IMPLANT CHARACTERISTICS
Modern Generation Silicone Implants
The main advances in implant technology have consisted of changes to both the shell and the silicone gel. The features of most modern shells lie in their barrier layer technology and surface texturing options. The barrier layer has reduced significantly the high incidence of silicone bleeding seen in earlier generation implants.
24,25
The surface texturing has minimized
implant rotation in anatomical implants.
The gel has become progressively more cohesive through more extensive crosslinking of the silicone poly­mer. Cohesive gels are referred to as form stable (i.e., able to maintain their shape without collapsing under their

Ongoing U.S. Food and Drug Administration core group studies by Allergan Medical and Mentor continue to collect data for a 10-year span,10 and new data are being collected in postap­proval studies that were required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Interestingly, in the recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration silicone breast implant follow-up panel in August of 2011, there were still questions raised by anti­implant groups and individuals citing anecdotal reports of autoimmune diseases caused by breast implants. Despite over 25 high-level scientific studies and over 10 meta-analyses, all of which demonstrate no link between breast implants and any autoimmune disease, there curi­ously remains a question of this association.

normal weight or being deformed by the surrounding soft-tissue envelope). There is some evidence that form stability has some long-term advantages in minimizing implant-related complications.
Implant Shell
28 – 30
Essentially, there are two types of implant shell: smooth and textured. Textured devices were origi­nally developed to mimic the surface of polyurethane implants that had a rough porous surface and were known to have very low capsular contracture rates of approximately 1 to 2percent31; however, level I stud­ies have not supported the lower capsular contracture rates in textured implants.
26,32 – 44
In fact, there are as many level I studies showing no dierence as there are that show a benefit, likely indicating that surface texture does not have a role in capsular contracture, especially in the subpectoral pocket plane. The studies

are less conclusive for subglandular pocket plane, with a possible benefit of texture in this position.
27,34,39,40
Coming full circle, the contracture benefit seen with polyurethane implants was most likely a biochemical eect not attributable to the surface texture. The cur­rent generation implant shells are much more durable, and the introduction of barrier layers has reduced the incidence of gel bleed significantly, a problem so often associated with early generation prostheses.
Implant Shape
Implants are either round or anatomical. There is a wide variety within these shapes. Most round implants come in dierent projections for a given volume, allow­ing for better customization.
Anatomical implants come with even more variabil­ity of dimension because of their naturally asymmetric shape. Therefore, width, height, and projection can all be varied to optimally select a “best fit” implant.
There is much debate as to the relative merits of
other out of habit and familiarization with a particular product. Our view is that surgeons should be comfort­able in moving from one form to the other according to patient desire and the anatomy of the individual. Some situations will dictate a preference for anatomi­cal and others for round.
Indications for round implants include the follow-

PATIENT EDUCATION
The most essential part of breast augmentation is ensuring that patients have a good understanding of the process. This includes an explanation of the principles of implant selection—why a particular type, shape, dimension, or size is used. (See Video, Supplemental
Factors that impact outcomes have been identified and practice recommendations have been established and refined.
48
This analysis has resulted in a redefinition of this pro­cedure to a much broader process beyond the actual sur­gical placement of the implant. Essential components include comprehensive patient education that enhances informed consent, tissue-based preoperative planning, refined surgical technique and rapid recovery, and a strictly defined postoperative patient management plan. Although each component may exist individually, the combination of these steps in succession has resulted in enhanced outcomes for patients far better than any one component practiced in isolation. In recent years, as key components of this process have been elucidated, it has

It is important for patients to have realistic expecta­tions and to understand the limitations of the proce­dure and both short- and long-term consequences; this includes knowledge of possible complications and the need for reoperation. Patients will often arrive “well informed” from Internet searches, and it is important for the physician to add context and prioritize this often random information. The goal of the surgeon and the surgical team is to provide the patient with the knowledge to make good decisions about their breast augmentation.

History
This should include the patient’s motives and motivation for surgery. Establish whether goals are realistic. Try to understand what appearance the patient is hoping to achieve—natural versus obvious. This will aect implant choice. It is also important to be cautious about specifying cup size, as this is often inaccurate. Concepts about shape and form are more useful.
A pregnancy history (i.e., if family planning is com­plete or if in the middle of trying to have a family) should be obtained. In general, the best advice is to wait for the completion of the family before proceeding with breast surgery. It is also advisable to wait for 3 to 6 months following the cessation of breast feeding for breasts to return to normal before embarking on breast augmenta-

The lie of the breast on the chest wall (i.e., lateralization of nipple and breast) (Fig.5, above, left) versus normal positioning (Fig.5, above, right) should also be determined. The postoperative intermammary distance is determined by the preoperative state. With a properly sized implant, the patient with a normal inter­mammary distance will be normal (Fig.5, below, left) and patients with a wide intermammary distance will be wide postoperatively (Fig.5, below, right). (See Video, Supplemental Digital Content 3, which demon­strates tissue-based preoperative planning, available in
the “Related Videos” section of the full-text article on tion or usually a minimum of 3 months of stable breast size after breast feeding.
As breast size can vary greatly with fluctuations in body weight, it is important to determine ideal weight and to stabilize it before committing to surgery. A breast cancer history is relevant in discussions relating to breast cancer surveillance and to allay fears about cancer risk. A general medical history should be taken, including medication and smoking history, to establish that there are no contraindications to surgery.

Skin quality, such as the presence of stretch marks indicating thin inelastic skin, should be determined. It is essential that any abnormalities are pointed out and communicated to the patients. Often, patients will not have noticed them preoperatively, and when picked up postoperatively, the patient will be quick to blame the surgeon.

These are the elements of tissue-based planning (i.e., the selection of the implant according to the dimension of the breast and the quality of the tissues). Neither the artist (no measurements) nor the engineer (only mea­surements) is ideal, but what has been proven scien­tifically to work best is a craftsman approach that uses measurements to produce boundaries so that the artistic sense can function.
TISSUE-BASED PLANNING FOR IMPLANT
SELECTION
Appropriate implant selection is critical for a good outcome. In the past, this has often been a casual pro­cess without consideration for the consequences of poor implant selection. The main driving force behind selec­tion has been the volume of the implant with relevance only to cup size leading to high reoperation rates where the volume selection has not matched the tissue charac­teristics or the footplate of the breast.
Tissue-based planning relates to the concept of dimension over volume. The observed dimensions and measurements ultimately guide the appropriate choice of implant. The principle is to identify the best fit for a particular breast template causing as little soft-tissue distortion as possible, optimally filling a breast while respecting its natural boundaries. This approach has been popularized by Tebbetts and remains the only

published tissue-based system that uses measurements to determine optimal fill volume and an implant that “fits” the breast.
45 – 47
Most implant manufacturers have a vast array of implant shapes, profiles, and sizes, allowing an almost tailor-made selection for each individual. Failure to adhere to tissue-based planning and exceeding the natural template can lead to an unnatural appearance, soft-tissue distortion, and a host of other complica­tions, leading to a higher incidence of reoperation and poor outcome.
The Biodynamic system, devised by Allergan, is a computerized system available in Europe in which the physician enters a series of measurements, allowing the software to compute a best-fit implant according to those dimensions. The issue with this system is that it uses external sizers tried on by the patient, which minimizes

Classically, the most important dimension is the width of the breast and therefore the width of the implant itself. All of the other dimensions will further guide the selection process.

Preoperative Markings
The patient is marked preoperatively. The objective of marking is to establish the existing foot plate and to mark out the planned changes such as position of the inframammary fold and placement of the inframam­mary incision, which should lie directly in the postoper­ative crease of the breast.

Dual-plane I is division of the inferior pectoral origins only (Fig.6), dual-plane II is division of inferior origins and release of anterior pectoral fascial attachments to the gland with rotation of the inferior origin at the level of the inferior areolar border (Fig.7), and dual-plane III involves the inferior pectoral edge at the level of the upper areolar border (Fig.8).
