[BACKGROUND] Secondary mastopexy augmentation is challenging because of compromised blood supply to the nipple areola complex (NAC). The operating surgeon often relies on clinical judgment and may perform a more conservative elevation of th…

Crescent mastopexy is an operation that is often maligned and infrequently used. However, it can be a useful adjunct both in primary augmentation mammaplasty and in secondary breast revision cases. The key to achieving good results with thi…

The objectives of this article are to explain the mechanisms of injury that result in ischemia of the nipple areolar complex (NAC) after reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy, to offer recommendations about the management of this complication,…

[BACKGROUND] The double-bubble deformity is a widely recognized complication of breast augmentation, but there have been very few articles in the peer-reviewed literature devoted exclusively to this topic. [METHODS] Prior publications addr…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation and mastopexy augmentation procedures are becoming more common. The young plastic and reconstructive surgeon is often challenged revisional surgery operations in these patients. These cases are challenging, …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is one of the most common complications of breast augmentation surgery. Leukotrienes are implicated in the inflammatory cascade and have been postulated to be involved in the formation of CC. Therefore…

Transumbilical breast augmentation was first described in the literature more than 15 years ago. Since its introduction, this procedure has been controversial and has never been widely adopted by plastic surgeons. This article reviews the h…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implants have been used worldwide for more than 40 years. Despite extensive clinical experience, there is continued concern about the safety of these devices. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy, compli…

[BACKGROUND] Polyurethane foam-covered silicone gel-filled breast implants, introduced in the 1970s, were used in more than 110,000 American women. Because of concerns about possible toxicity, they were withdrawn from the US market in 1991.…

[BACKGROUND] Augmentation mammaplasty is popular procedure, but one that is associated with a relatively high rate of revisionary surgery. Over time, the augmented breast frequently becomes ptotic and patients may return requesting mastopex…

Breast conservation therapy, consisting of lumpectomy, axillary node dissection, whole-breast irradiation, and a boost to the tumor bed, is an increasingly popular option for the treatment of breast cancer. Among patients with stage I and s…

Complications and outcomes were monitored following the implantation of 1655 breast implants over a 15-year period. Smooth, polyurethane, and textured implants were used in a variety of clinical settings. The time course of capsular contrac…

On the remote island of New Guinea, hundreds of primitive cultures flourish as they have for centuries, virtually unaffected by outside influences. Among these tribes, practices involving intentional surgical alteration of appearance are co…

[OBJECTIVE] To measure the effect of various parameters on mammographic visualization of the breast after augmentation mammaplasty. [DESIGN] Preoperative and postoperative mammography was performed in patients undergoing augmentation mamma…

62 healthy women were studied mammographically before and after augmentation mammoplasty. Postaugmentation mammograms were done using both the implant compression and implant displacement technique. The amount of visualisable tissue was mea…

Breast conservation therapy (wide local excision, axillary lymph node dissection, and whole-breast irradiation) is an increasingly popular alternative to mastectomy for breast cancer patients. A sizable (and growing) number of breast cancer…

Smooth-walled silicone implants have been widely used in breast surgery. Capsular contracture, causing undesirable firmness and spherical deformity, has been a common problem. Recent studies suggest that polyurethane-covered breast implants…

Fifty-four women who had previously undergone breast augmentation underwent film-screen mammography using both the standard implant compression technique and, when possible, the implant displacement technique. All had preaugmentation mammog…

From 1981 through 1988, 35 patients with prior augmentation mammoplasty were treated for breast carcinoma. Thirty-two patients had unilateral infiltrating carcinomas; three had noninvasive (in situ) lesions. Thirty-four of 35 (97%) lesions …

More than 1 million American women have undergone augmentation mammoplasty; 100,000 (10%) will develop or already have developed breast cancer. Between March 1981 and August 1986, 20 patients with previous augmentation mammoplasty were trea…
