Uncover the secret to achieving a natural, long-lasting look with breast implants as acclaimed plastic surgeon Dr. Roy Kim joins us to unravel the complexities of implant placement. With a deep dive into his YouTube insights and a revealing blog article, Dr. Kim uncovers why the choice isn't just a matter of above or below the muscle. Listeners will learn the critical role of the pectoralis major muscle and how its anatomy drives the decision-making process. Discover the difference between subglandular, subfascial, and dual plane placements, and why these nuanced choices impact not only the aesthetics but also the longevity and feel of implants.
Dr. Kim shares his preference for the subfascial placement, lifting the veil on why it could be advantageous despite not being everyone's go-to method. We weigh the pros and cons of subglandular methods, known for their swift recovery but potential aesthetic downsides, and explore the dual plane approach for a comprehensive understanding. Whether you're contemplating implants or simply curious about the surgical intricacies, this episode promises eye-opening insights into the art and science of breast augmentation.
