The authors describe the techniques that use the principles of fat grafting to allow them to successfully graft megavolumes (250-ml range) of autologous fat into breasts. The Brava external volume expansion device preoperatively increases t…

[UNLABELLED] Currently, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast should be considered in terms of contouring, and hence in terms of dimensions. Based on experience performing more than 5,000 breast augmentations with highly cohesi…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting to the breasts was banned in 1987 because of unpredictable graft retention and cyst formation that could not be differentiated from cancer. Surgical and radiologic advances induced a lifting of the ban i…

[BACKGROUND] Selecting the appropriate implant is one of the most important and demanding decisions in breast augmentation with anatomical implants, because different widths, heights, and projections can be found for a given volume. Most of…

The authors describe a mastopexy technique that is effective in treating small and mildly ptotic breasts to extremely large breasts and maintains breast shape over time. Tissue that in more traditional procedures has frequently "bottomed ou…

"Bottoming out" of parenchyma after several months is a problem extant in previous techniques of mastopexy and reduction mammaplasty. The authors have addressed this problem by creation of a mobile, chest wall-based flap of breast tissue th…

The authors offer a new technique that provides a better long-term upper pole fullness to the shape of the breasts following reduction mammoplasty, thus creating an overall more satisfactory aesthetic appearance for both breasts.…

Approximately ten years after abdominoplasty, transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flaps were utilized for breast reconstruction in two patients. Both had considerable excess lower abdominal tissue that they wanted removed. W…

With the continuation of augmentation mammaplasty as a desirable operation for a large segment of the female population in the United States, the problem of fibrous capsular contracture that has been present since the inception of the opera…

Although the weight of evidence generally indicates that improved contracture rates with retropectoral placement of the prosthesis and excellent aesthetic results can be obtained with this approach, there remains a significant cadre of surg…

Traditional skin-tightening or neck-lifting has been and still is a satisfactory method for correcting an unsightly neck. In cases of fatty neck, prominent platysmal bands, or both, additional measures must be employed if the defects are to…

The problem of redundancy of tissue of the neck, often called "turkey gobbler neck," can be corrected satisfactorily without performing a traditional face--neck lift (Fig. 4). This can be achieved with a vertical excision of skin, resection…

We have reviewed the experience of our clinic since 1962, when the first augmentation mammaplasty using a silicone implant was performed. All-inclusive, this review of 1,567 patients has taken us through a metamorphosis of improved prosthes…

The mutilating effect of surgery for cancer of the breast has left many women needful of reconstruction to restore the body contour and self-image. Reconstruction involves replacement of the three elements that have been lost: breast mass, …

The mastectomy patient presenting to the plastic surgeon often relates a profound sense of deformity. The current state of the art in breast reconstruction allows the plastic surgeon to intelligently address this deformity with procedures c…

A subcutaneous mastectomy without mastopexy can result in downward directed nipples, over-augmentation or asymmetry in cases of contralateral reconstruction. A mastopexy can prevent these problems without adding to the morbidity or complica…
