[BACKGROUND] Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a naturally occurring component of human connective tissue, serves as a biomedically produced thermoplastic polyester scaffold that has been used in many surgical subspecialties. The utilization o…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic breast surgery remains among the most requested procedures in plastic surgery. Since their introduction, breast implants have significantly evolved in terms of composition, surface, and shape. Due to the wide variabil…

[BACKGROUND] Several techniques have been developed to address cases of macromastia. The primary objective remains achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes and reducing breast volume, but concerns persist regarding the stability of results over…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most common complication following breast implant placement. Cathelicidin LL-37 is a cationic peptide involved in innate immunity. Initially investigated for its antimicrobial role, it was found to h…

[INTRODUCTION] The use of free-style and propeller perforator-based flaps has been popularized for the reconstruction of moderate size defects in the trunk and extremities, while their application in the field of abdominal reconstruction is…

Breast reduction is one of the most required plastic surgery procedures worldwide, improving significantly the quality of life for patients with macromastia and gigantomachia. Despite various proposed approaches aiming to yield more stable …

[BACKGROUND] Primary breast augmentation is one of the most sought-after procedures in cosmetic surgery. It is generally related to a high degree of patient satisfaction, but it is not always obvious which factors have greater influence on …

[BACKGROUND] Scarring at the incision site represents one of the most impactful outcomes in breast augmentation surgery for both the patient and the surgeon. Few studies exist with the aim of assessing patient perception of scarring outcome…

[BACKGROUND] Ptosis recurrence often leads to unsatisfactory results after mastopexy, even more so when additional stress is provided by implants on compromised native tissue. The poly-4-hydroxybutyrate(P4HB) scaffold (GalaFLEX) with its fa…

[INTRODUCTION] Facial ageing, particularly in the periorbital region, is a growing concern in contemporary culture. Upper blepharoplasty, a widely performed cosmetic surgery, addresses both aesthetic and functional issues related to eyelid …

[BACKGROUND] Polyurethane (PU) coating and implant texturization were designed to reduce the incidence of capsular contracture (CC), even if the link between surface type and CC remains unclear. To date, the etiopathogenetic aspects have no…

[BACKGROUND] Patient satisfaction is the primary goal in breast augmentation, but in a few cases patient satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction are in disagreement. [OBJECTIVES] The authors try to explain the reasons associated with dispari…

[INTRODUCTION] Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) has a primary role in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer; however, the most appropriate timing of irradiation in immediate tissue expander breast reconstruction (ITEBR) sti…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast remodeling following breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and radiation therapy (RT) is challenging and often burdened by complications due to irradiated tissue atrophy. The authors present a case-control study to compare t…

[INTRODUCTION] In patients with short nipple to inframammary fold (N-IMF) distance, as in tuberous breast, the cohesivity and gel distribution of shaped implants work as a controlled tissue expander, progressively adapting the tissues to th…

[BACKGROUND] The latissimus dorsi (LD) flap is reliable and versatile with many indications and low donor site morbidity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term effects of LD flap on the shoulder function in patients undergoing …

One of the potential complications of aesthetic surgery is bleeding. Given the high surgical activity carried out in our center and the variety of interventions performed, the risk of bleeding is not negligible: A clinical practice that cou…

[BACKGROUND] Several systematic methods for breast augmentation have been published, providing key principles and technical steps for minimizing complications and optimizing patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to compare complic…
