A Next-Generation Approach to Subglandular Breast Augmentation Using B-Lite Implants: The Feather Touch Technique.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAwake subglandular breast augmentation offers rapid recovery but requires effective perioperative analgesia. This study evaluated a standardized multilayer fascial plane anesthetic protocol for Feather Touch technique.
methodsIn this prospective study, 66 women underwent primary subglandular breast augmentation between January and November 2025 under light intravenous sedation with ultrasound-guided interpectoral, pectoserratus, serratus anterior, and subcutaneous infiltration.
resultsAll procedures were completed without conversion to general anesthesia. Early recovery was uneventful in most patients. Four minor postoperative events were recorded: double-bubble deformity, bottoming out, palpable margins, and superior malposition. No major complications occurred. Lightweight implants were associated with improved early positional stability.
conclusionsA standardized multilayer fascial plane protocol can be safely integrated into awake subglandular breast augmentation using the Feather Touch technique. Matching anesthetic delivery to subglandular dissection supports intraoperative comfort and early recovery, while implant weight may influence early stability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: Breast Surgery.
