Long-term evaluation of Nipple-Areolar complex changes in inferior versus superomedial pedicle reduction mammoplasty: A comparative study.
[BACKGROUND] In breast reduction, traditionally the inferior pedicle (IFP) technique is considered the most performed by plastic surgeons. A growing interest for the superomedial pedicle (SMP) mammoplasty technique has been documented in li…

Chest wall infiltration is a critical prognostic factor in breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma affected patients.
[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is a rare disease with a favourable prognosis if adequately treated. Same staged patients have usually a similar prognosis and outcomes, but in our experience, IIA-staged…
