Abstract: 

Introduction: Breast augmentation also called augmentation mammoplasty is used to increase breast size usually by using silicone implants. It involves placing breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle. Subfascial breast augmentation was pioneered by Dr. Ruth Graf in Brazil. There are studies which indicates that sub facial breast augmentation is better than the other techniques commonly used. Regular silicone breast implants are the most popularly used by the plastic surgeons, as they feel and look more real and natural.
Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcome of the subfascial breast augmentation surgery with silicone implants.
Methods: It is a retrospective study that was conducted with 15 patients enrolled in the department of Plastic & Aesthetic surgery from January 2018 to January 2021.
Result: Among the study population (N=15), the mean age of the samples was 28.67±SD, and the maximum and the minimum age of the study population were 36 and 18 respectively. Four study population 4(26.67%) were actresses and models, One-fifth of the study population 3(20%) were housewives, one-fourth 4(26.67%) of the study population were jobholders, and four 4(26.67%) were students. 80% of the study population underwent this surgery to improve body image and the rest of 20% of the study population were keen on breast augmentation surgery to improve their self-confidence. No complication was observed during the postoperative period and follow-up at three month, six months and at 1 year.
Conclusion: Subfascial breast augmentation provides natural results with adequate implant coverage, especially in the upper pole. So, palpability and visibility is minimized; and animation movement of the implant can be avoided. The morbidity and pain associated with the procedure is minimal and the recovery is rapid.
