Augmentation mammoplasty using the retrofascia approach.

In augmentation mammoplasty, the selection of placement for implants is based on the characteristics of each patient and the tissue conditions to ensure an optimal covering of these. The location must not be arbitrarily based on the preferences of the surgeon and the patient, but must ensure adequate tissue covering, thus minimizing shorts and long-term risks. Retromammary, retropectoral, and total and mixed retromuscular implants have been used.
