Breast augmentation is usually performed in subglandular, subfascial, or partial submuscular pockets, including the dual plane. A new pocket has been introduced by my new technique of muscle splitting breast augmentation. The initial pocket was made in the subglandular plane up to the lower level of the nipple–areolar complex, and the submuscular plane was reached by splitting the pectoralis major muscle without its release from the costal margin. The implant now lies in this plane simultaneously behind and in front of the pectoralis. The technique was first published in the Springer Journal for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery three years ago, and since then it has been adopted by aesthetic plastic surgeons from around the world due the highly successful and aesthetically pleasing results we are able to achieve using this technique.
For more information about this pioneering technique and publication by Springer (pdf copy also available) have a look here. To see an animated video of this technique have a look here.

I have appeared on Discovery Health Channel, where former patients’ of mine have been featured in Cosmetic Surgery Series 2. I have also appeared on ITV and Channel 4 and my innovative approach with the development of new surgical techniques is receiving much attention from my peers within the field of cosmetic and plastic surgery.
