Subfascial Breast Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Capsular Contracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subfascial breast augmentation is a technique originally developed to reduce the risks of capsular contracture while decreasing the postoperative pain associated with subpectoral augmentation. It was pioneered in Brazil by Dr. Graf and others, and recently this technique has gained interest in the aesthetic world.
