Abstract
Subpectoral augmentation provided better concealment of upper pole rippling than subglandular augmentation, but at the price of higher rates of muscle contraction-induced deformities and implant displacement. Capsular contracture can occur after augmentation in either plane, but because the processes of capsule formation are qualitatively different in each case, a direct comparison of contracture rates would be misleading.
