Certain problems would be corrected by breast augmentation as well such as amastia, hypoplastic breast, asymmetry, and age-related changes. To obtain an Ideal breast augmentation, there are some objectives that have to be fulfilled: The position of the nipples must be in the most projecting part of the breasts. The implant must be non-visible and non-palpable underneath the skin envelope. And the lower pole of the breast should be adequately filled than the upper pole. Thirty patients were included in this study using pectoralis major high splitting technique for the purpose of performing breast augmentation over the period of 5 years from February 2013 to November 2018.

Patients satisfaction was extremely high and there were no evidences for capsular contracture or abrupt demarcation of the implant under breasts skin. In conclusion performing breast augmentation using pectoralis major high splitting technique is of great value in giving a three-dimensional improvement in the continuously changing soft tissue dynamics of the breast, also decreases morbidity of the procedure and raises satisfaction and favorability of patients toward breast augmentation. | ||
