Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy is a safe and reliable surgical option to restore aesthetic contour. Perioperative radiation therapy lends a morbidity to the integrity of the thin-walled mastectomy construct…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After studying this article, the participants should be able to: 1. Describe pertinent surgical anatomy relevant to safe and effective face-lifting techniques. 2. Identify key aspects of facial aging. 3. Incorporate ri…

[BACKGROUND] The tear trough deformity is challenging in lower eyelid rejuvenation. Surgical treatment has evolved, with more modern techniques preserving orbital fat and using autologous fat transposition. The senior author (M.A.C.) review…

Evolution of silicone breast implant design has focused primarily on advances in implant fill, surface texture, and shape. Fifth-generation, shaped, form-stable, silicone breast implants from all three major implant manufacturers are now ap…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic eyelid surgery involves intricate techniques to improve the appearance of the periorbital region. In the presence of preoperative ptosis, lower lid laxity or malposition, prominent eyes, and xerophthalmia (dry eyes), …

The lower eyelid can be a challenging area in facial rejuvenation. While lower eyelid bags are commonly the reason that patients present for lower eyelid rejuvenation, a separate entity known as a tear trough deformity may occur in conjunct…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is a common complication of breast augmentation that is thought to arise from bacterial contamination and subsequent biofilm formation on the implant. Endogenous breast flora expressed through the nipp…

[BACKGROUND] The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and implant breast reconstruction procedure has undergone many refinements over its lifetime. In fact, the authors have made many aesthetic and technical refinements to their own approach …

[BACKGROUND] This study evaluated patients who underwent primary breast surgery within a single group practice from 1994 to 2009. Reoperations were divided by reoperation reason into total reoperations and implant-specific reoperations. The…

The transaxillary approach to breast augmentation provides patients with an option for augmentation that avoids any visible scars on the breast. The versatility of the endoscopic technique allows the surgeon to reliably dissect the submuscu…

We present a surgical technique of nipple areolar reconstruction that uses a purse-string to increase areolar projection while reducing loss of nipple projection. A permanent purse-string is used around a modified CV flap to advance tissue …

The decision-making process for breast augmentation begins at the initial consultation. Most complications can be avoided with careful planning and decision making. Primary augmentation demands a careful evaluation of the breast morphology …

The surgical technique of redraping of the inferior arc of the orbicularis oculi muscle is used primarily to produce lower lid and midfacial smoothing in patients undergoing aesthetic surgery. The midfacial fat compartments, suborbicularis …
