Ultrasound-assisted breast pocket

Creating the subglandular implant pocket with ultrasound assistance.

This work applies ultrasound assistance to pocket creation in subglandular breast augmentation, extending Dr. Raúl Manzaneda Cipriani's image guidance to breast surgery.

The publication

The technique is described in “Ultrasound-Assisted Pocket Creation in Subglandular Breast Augmentation”, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum (2026), with Dr. Raúl Manzaneda Cipriani among its authors. It is available at its official source: doi.org/10.1093/asjof/ojag016.

What it adds

It brings the ultrasound-guidance principle to a key step of breast augmentation: the precise creation of the implant pocket.

How it relates to the portfolio

It is part of Dr. Manzaneda's ultrasound-guided body-contouring portfolio, the same philosophy that makes incision-free rib remodeling possible: using real-time imaging to guide the surgical gesture.
