If you’ve spent any time online recently, you’ve probably come across the headlines surrounding Kylie Jenner’s breast surgery. The buzz has stirred up tons of questions, many of them from patients wondering if she underwent some revolutionary new technique. The truth? There’s nothing particularly new about the method behind the so-called Kylie Jenner boob job. It is a well-established approach that’s been trusted by board-certified plastic surgeons for decades. It’s called the dual plane breast augmentation technique, and it’s a technique Dr. Yamini’s been using for over 23 years in practice.
In an Instagram reel, Dr. Yamini of Sunset Cosmetic Surgery explains why this method is so widely respected. If you’ve had breast augmentation in the past couple of decades by an experienced plastic surgeon, there’s a good chance this was the technique used for you.
What Is the Dual Plane Breast Augmentation Technique?
The dual plane technique was first developed by Dr. John Tebbets in Texas in the 1990s. He published his research on it 25 years ago, and since then, it’s become a foundational part of modern breast surgery.
In simple terms, this approach places the upper part of the breast implant beneath the chest muscle, while the lower part sits directly under the breast tissue. The result is a hybrid placement that offers the benefits of both submuscular and subglandular techniques.
So while Kylie’s results are beautiful and no doubt expertly done, they’re likely the product of a tried-and-true technique that’s been available for years, not some groundbreaking innovation.
Why It’s Not Just About Celebrities
Let’s talk about why this technique works so well and why so many women, not just celebrities, love the results.
The dual plane breast augmentation technique is designed to produce a soft, natural-looking breast shape. By allowing the implant to sit partially under the muscle, we’re able to create a smooth upper slope with just the right amount of fullness. Meanwhile, the lower portion of the breast can expand naturally, forming that subtle teardrop contour that looks elegant, not artificial.
In Kylie Jenner’s case, her “new” breast look, often referred to as the Kylie Jenner boob job on social media, shows off exactly what this technique is known for: natural cleavage, gentle projection, and a youthful, balanced profile.
The Role of Moderate Profile Implants
Another factor in achieving this aesthetic is the choice of implant. The dual plane method works beautifully with moderate profile silicone implants, which provide fullness without looking overly round or projecting too far forward.
These implants have actually been around for over 40 years and are a popular choice for patients who want a natural result rather than a high-volume, high-projection look. Moderate implants combined with the dual plane technique give a reliable formula for beautiful, long-lasting breast implant results.
And yes, this is exactly the type of implant likely used in Kylie Jenner’s breast surgery, which is why her new look has resonated with so many women seeking that same refined result.
Who Is the Dual Plane Technique Right For?
At Sunset Cosmetic Surgery, the dual plane approach is one of the most commonly used techniques for breast augmentation. It’s particularly effective for women who:
- Want a natural teardrop shape
- Have mild to moderate breast sagging
- Need correction for asymmetry
- Prefer a soft, subtle upper fullness rather than a “round” or “augmented” appearance
This method also gives surgeons, like Dr. Yamini, greater control when adjusting the implant pocket to fit the patient’s anatomy, something that makes a huge difference in achieving symmetry and long-term stability.
Final Thoughts: Timeless, Not Trendy
Trends in plastic surgery will always come and go, but good techniques stand the test of time. The buzz around Kylie Jenner’s breast surgery has sparked new interest in what many people assume is a cutting-edge method. But for experienced surgeons who specialize in cosmetic breast surgery, this is nothing new.
Dr. Yamini has been performing the dual-plane breast augmentation technique for more than two decades. It’s safe, proven, and incredibly versatile, allowing him to achieve results that fit each patient, whether they’re seeking subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change.
So, if you’re considering breast augmentation and wondering whether this “new” method is right for you, rest assured: it’s not a fad. It’s a trusted technique backed by years of data, experience, and artistry.
