Pocket Conversion Made Easy: A Simple Technique Using Alloderm to Convert Subglandular Breast Implants to the Dual-Plane Position

The standard techniques available for conversion of subglandular breast implants to the dual-plane position using capsulorrhaphy and marionette sutures are limited by a high complication rate for the reliable positioning into a stable dual-plane pocket during implant exchange. A commonly used technique in reconstructive breast surgery using Alloderm is shown to reliably convert subglandular implants to the dual-plane position.
