[BACKGROUND] Revision breast reconstruction is often necessary to address complications, reduce asymmetry, or improve the aesthetic result. Our previously described use of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) has shown promise in primary reconstru…

[BACKGROUND] Umbilicoplasty is a critical step in donor-site closure following abdominally based autologous breast reconstruction (ABR). While various incision designs and transposition techniques have been described, their impact on patien…

Prepectoral breast reconstruction poses unique challenges, including a lower tolerance for mastectomy flap skin necrosis and seroma formation. With appropriate patient selection, prepectoral breast reconstruction is a valuable reconstructiv…

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 …

Patients requiring breast reconstruction following radiation therapy or prior failed autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) or implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) represent a challenging cohort and often present with compromised vasc…

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] In July of 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled the Allergan Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anatomically Shaped Silicone-Filled Textured Breast Implants because of a heightened risk of developing breast impl…

Wound healing is a complex process involving cell proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) or exosomes derived from adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) are emerging as promising …

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic breast reduction has been shown to be an effective and safe approach to breast conservation surgery in women with macromastia. However, there remains a paucity of data investigating the comparative outcomes. This st…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammaplasty is a safe, effective procedure to alleviate symptoms of adolescent macromastia. However, there remain limited data on surgical complications associated with reduction mammaplasty in adolescents, which may …

[BACKGROUND] The superomedial pedicle for reduction mammaplasty remains less commonly performed than the inferior pedicle. This study seeks to delineate the complication profiles and outcomes for reduction mammaplasty using a superomedial p…

As a biologic product derived from human tissue, acellular dermal matrices did not require premarket approval for their initial use as a soft-tissue support product. Since their first use in breast surgery, acellular dermal matrices have al…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction has evolved, with a recent resurgence of prepectoral techniques. Comparative reconstructive outcomes and complications have not been elucidated fully among the total submuscular, dual-plane, …

[BACKGROUND] Social media have altered the mechanisms by which published research is disseminated and accessed. The objective of this study was to measure the effect of promotion on research article dissemination, influence, and impact in P…

[BACKGROUND] Since the introduction of skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM), more breast surgeons have been preserving the areola and often nipple areolar complex (NAC) entirely. For better outcomes, more studies are necessary to analyze whether p…

[BACKGROUND] The majority of two-stage prepectoral breast reconstruction has been described utilizing acellular dermal matrix (ADM). Although reports of prepectoral breast reconstruction without ADM exist, there is a paucity of comparative …

[BACKGROUND] Stacked and conjoined free flaps are increasingly utilized in autologous breast reconstruction to augment tissue transfer volume. However, there is a paucity of comparative data on abdominally-based stacked/conjoined versus non…

[PURPOSE] Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) may result in permanent functional deficits. Brachial plexus birth injury involving the suprascapular nerve (SSN) is conventionally treated using accessory nerve transfer or excision and nerve g…

[UNLABELLED] Fat grafting during primary breast augmentation has the ability to address the limitations of soft tissue coverage of breast implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current evidence on patient selection, surgica…

[BACKGROUND] Nipple-sparing mastectomy in patients with large, ptotic breasts is a reconstructive challenge. Staged breast reduction before prophylactic nipple-sparing mastectomy has been shown to decrease complications; however, a direct c…

[BACKGROUND] Case-control study designs are commonly used. However, many published case-control studies are not true case-controls and are in fact mislabeled. The purpose of this study was to identify all case-control studies published in t…

[BACKGROUND] The availability of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and synthetic mesh products has prompted plastic surgeons to revisit subcutaneous implant-based breast reconstruction. The literature is limited, however, with regards to eviden…

Three-dimensional surface imaging has gained clinical acceptance in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In contrast to computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging, three-dimensional surface imaging relies on triangulation in stereophotog…

[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction in the setting of prior breast irradiation is conventionally considered a higher-risk procedure. Limited data exist regarding nipple-sparing mastectomy in irradiated breasts, a higher-risk procedure in higher-ris…

[BACKGROUND] Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is a recent advance in the therapeutic and prophylactic management of breast cancer; however, the procedure is associated with increased reconstructive complications. Data on NSM after previous b…

[BACKGROUND] Surgical education is in a period of significant change. Assessment of surgical competency is imprecise compared with cognitive knowledge and judgment. A surgical competency measurement tool may be useful for plastic surgery tr…
