[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a leading cause of morbidity after breast augmentation and often necessitates reoperation. This study analyzes the association between breast capsule thickness and severity of capsular contracture, disti…

[PURPOSE] Numeracy, the ability to understand numerical concepts, is a key component of health literacy. This study examines rates of innumeracy and its association with demographics to inform patient education strategies in plastic surgery…

[BACKGROUND] Lighting conditions for photographic documentation during pre- and postoperative visits are critical in capturing the outcomes of rhinoplasty for patients. Current standards may not provide direct side lighting, which can enhan…

[PURPOSE] A recent TikTok trend of users reporting nasal size reduction after oral isotretinoin has conflated this acne medication as a nonsurgical rhinoplasty option, termed "Accutane rhinoplasty". We conducted a systematic review of studi…

[BACKGROUND]  Postoperative free tissue transfer reexploration procedures are relatively infrequent but associated with increased overall failure rates. This study examines the differences between flaps requiring takeback versus no takeback…

[INTRODUCTION] The parascapular free flap (PFF), primarily harvested as a fasciocutaneous flap, is perfused by the parascapular branch of the circumflex scapular artery. Its anatomy enables modification and combination with other flaps. How…

Heparin is frequently used to mitigate the risk of thrombosis in microsurgical free tissue transfer. Although rare, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a severe, life-threatening complication that can arise in patients exposed to hepa…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous nasoseptal cartilage grafts are used to correct nasal asymmetry and deviation in rhinoplasty, but patients who have undergone multiple operations may have limited autologous cartilage tissue available. L-strut implan…

[BACKGROUND] Improving diversity within plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) trainees is a crucial step to reduce inequities at the provider level. Trends in minority representation among independent program match applicants are underst…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with breast cancer living in rural areas are less likely to undergo breast reconstruction. Further, given the additional training and resources required for autologous reconstruction, it is likely that rural patients f…

[BACKGROUND] We aimed to assess the effect of hirudotherapy on flap congestion and thrombosis in adult female patients who underwent microvascular breast reconstruction. [METHODS] A systematic review of PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane…

[BACKGROUND] Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents cardiometabolic dysregulation, defined by hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. There remains a significant gap in our understanding of whether MetS impacts outcomes of abdomina…

[BACKGROUND] Suction lipectomy (liposuction) is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States, but little has been documented regarding perioperative complications due to its outpatient nature. [OBJECTIVES] This cros…

[BACKGROUND] Recent literature has established outpatient breast reconstruction (BR) to be a safe alternative to inpatient BR. However, the impact of race and ethnicity on BR patient decision-making and postsurgical outcomes remains unexplo…

[BACKGROUND] The creation of postoperative rhinoplasty results that appear natural and proportional to the face are crucial for patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess the public's ability to detect a post-rhinoplasty …

[BACKGROUND] Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have evolved to validated questionnaires assessing health-related quality of life. This systematic review evaluates the utilization of PROs in United States plastic and reconstructive surgery (P…

[BACKGROUND] The drive to improve surgical proficiency through advanced simulation-based training has gained momentum. This meta-analysis systematically evaluated evidence regarding the impact of plastic surgery-related simulation on the pe…

[UNLABELLED] In 1993, the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act mandated increasing minority and women enrollment in clinical trials (CTs). This study aimed to investigate trends in race and ethnicity enrollment and reporting in …

[INTRODUCTION] On most online platforms, just about anyone can disseminate plastic surgery (PS) content regardless of their educational or professional background. This study examines the general public's perceptions of the accuracy of onli…

[OBJECTIVE] Three-dimensional printing (3Dp) and modeling have demonstrated increasing utility within plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS). This study aims to understand the prevalence of how this technology is utilized in craniofacial …

[INTRODUCTION] The quality and readability of online health information are sometimes suboptimal, reducing their usefulness to patients. Manual evaluation of online medical information is time-consuming and error-prone. This study automates…

[BACKGROUND] Before and after (B&A) photographs are a sensitive part of patients' medical records, and the use of smartphones may pose risks to confidentiality and comfort. The purpose of this study was to assess patient comfort depending o…

[BACKGROUND] The racial diversity portrayed in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) media is an important indicator of an inclusive environment for potential patients. To evaluate the degree to which PRS websites demonstrate inclusivity…
