Abstract
I believe it is desirable to maintain continuity of the pectoralis major muscle to the maximal extent when performing subpectoral breast augmentation. Strong, upward lifting and stretching of the muscle belly facilitates a smooth, natural contour and eliminates the need to cut or avulse the sternal origin of the muscle, thereby preserving strength and reducing bleeding.
