[BACKGROUND] Direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction offers several advantages over the 2-stage implant-based breast reconstruction approach. However, the outcomes of prepectoral reconstruction are debated. Many previous studies contained co…

[BACKGROUND] Patients undergo abdominoplasty/panniculectomy following excessive weight loss and/or to improve abdominal appearance/shape. The authors aim to compare clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) following these procedures in p…

[BACKGROUND] Patients undergoing plastic surgery have higher rates of psychiatric disorders, which can influence surgical outcomes and quality of life (QoL). [METHODS] A retrospective review was conducted of patients with or without psychi…

Several biologic and synthetic adjuncts have been employed to reduce ptosis and improve cosmesis in breast surgery. Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a fully absorbable polymer, continues to increase in use. This study sought to identify uses …

[BACKGROUND]  Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) after mastectomy is increasing due to benefits over implant-based reconstruction. However, free flap reconstruction is not universally offered to patients of advanced age due to perceived…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) following nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is recognized for superior aesthetic outcomes. However, body mass index (BMI)-based recommendations for free flap reconstruction remain debated du…

[BACKGROUND] The risks and benefits of performing small fat-containing ventral or umbilical hernia repair (HR) during cosmetic abdominoplasty remains a reconstructive and aesthetic challenge for plastic surgeons. [OBJECTIVES] In this study…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast reduction surgery addresses both functional complaints and aesthetic concerns. Two commonly used incision patterns in the US are the Wise and vertical patterns, but there are limited data comparing their clinical and q…

Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), given demonstrated oncologic safety, is widely used for both therapeutic and prophylactic mastectomy. The popularity of NSM has spurred advancements by breast and plastic surgeons, liberalizing the indicatio…

[BACKGROUND] A recent analysis of microsurgery fellowship match data published in 2019 demonstrated increased competition for available positions. With growing opportunities in the field, the authors hypothesize that the landscape for both …

[BACKGROUND] Current consensus has established the internal mammary vessels (IMV) over the thoracodorsal vessels (TDV) as the preferred recipients for microvascular breast reconstruction due to their superior flow rates and long-established…

[BACKGROUND] The incidence of obesity is on the rise around the globe. Outside of the massive weight loss (MWL) patient population, knowledge of risk factors associated with abdominal body contouring (BC) is limited. This systematic review …

[BACKGROUND] With marijuana use on the rise, its influence on surgical outcomes, particularly for breast reduction, warrants investigation. This study aims to clarify marijuana's effects on breast reduction surgery outcomes, given its limit…

[PURPOSE] Reconstruction of massive incisional hernias (IHs) poses a significant challenge with high rates of recurrence. Preoperative chemodenervation using botulinum toxin (BTX) injections in the abdominal wall is a technique that has bee…
