[BACKGROUND] The choice of the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap for breast reconstruction has increased. Three-dimensional (3D) models of DIEP flaps have been introduced with advances in 3D technology to assist the tedious in…

[BACKGROUND] Cell-assisted acellular adipose matrix (AAM) transfer is a novel technique for soft tissue volume restoration, where AAM acts as a scaffold for tissue proliferation and promotes host cell migration, vascularization, and adipoge…

[BACKGROUND] Palpebral bags are commonly managed with infraorbital fat excision during lower blepharoplasty. This surgical approach is based on the assumption of age-related anterior herniation of infraorbital fat. However, controversy rema…

The European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology-Advisory Committee in Radiation Oncology Practice (ESTRO-ACROP) updated a new target volume delineation guideline for postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) after implant-based reconstruction. …

[BACKGROUND] The extracellular matrix isolated from adipose tissue, known as acellular adipose matrix (AAM), represents a novel biomaterial. AAM functions as a scaffold that not only supports stem cell proliferation and differentiation but …

[BACKGROUND] We previously showed comparable volume effects of injections of acellular adipose matrix (AAM), an adipose tissue-derived extracellular matrix, and conventional fat grafting in a murine model. Thus, AAM could be a novel allogen…

[BACKGROUND] Vasopressors are used in up to 85% of cases during free flap surgery. However, their use is still debated with concerns of vasoconstriction-related complications, with rates up to 53% in minor cases. We investigated the effects…

[BACKGROUND] This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of venous augmentation using superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV) in free transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) and deep inferior epigastric artery perfora…

[BACKGROUND] Eye bags especially give an impression of aging and mental exhaustion. At present, the surgical methods of bags mainly include conjunctival approach and lower eyelid skin approach. With the continuous upgrading of the concept o…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a recently spotlighted T-cell origin non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with an increasing incidence of over 800 cases and 33 deaths reported worldwide. Development of BIA-ALCL is l…

In lower abdominal flap representing transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap or deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, superficial inferior epigastric vein (SIEV) exists as superficial and independent venous syste…

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the hypopharynx is exceedingly rare. There were only two cases reported before. A 77-year-old man was presented with a 6-month history of foreign body sensation in the throat. Nasopharyngoscopy revealed …

[INTRODUCTION] We describe the first case of a patient who received AQUAfilling gel (Biomedica, Prague, Czech Republic) after augmentation with Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) breast implants and later developed breast deformity with bilateral …

Although silicone implants are widely used in breast and other reconstructive surgeries, the limited biocompatibility of these materials leads to severe complications, including capsular contracture. Here, we aimed to clarify the relationsh…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is one of the most common complications of expander-implant breast reconstruction. Recently, clinical reports have shown that use of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to cover breast implants decreases incid…

A 34-year-old-female patient visited our emergency room for symptoms of disturbance of urination and shortness of breath. She was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis with acute kidney injury after laser-assisted liposuction and required hemodialy…

[BACKGROUND] In recent years, radical breast cancer surgery has been largely replaced by breast conservation treatment, due to early diagnosis and more effective adjuvant treatment. While breast conservation is mostly preferred, the trend o…

A wealth of evidence has now demonstrated that the microenvironment in which a tumorigenic cell evolves is as critical to its evolution as the genetic mutations it accrues. However, there is still relatively little known about how signals f…

[OBJECTIVE] Moderate-to-severe Parry-Romberg syndrome involves progressive atrophy of facial bony structures as well as changes in skin and subcutaneous tissue. To correct facial asymmetry in PRS patients, it is important to restore facial …

The incidence of breast cancer is increasing each year. Concomitantly, cosmetic breast augmentation has become the second most often performed cosmetic surgical procedure. As the augmented patient population ages, an increasing number of br…
