The autologous reconstruction of the female breast using a microsurgical DIEP flap is a reliable and safe method. To detect impairments early and preserve the microvascular flap through timely revision, a better understanding of physiologic…

Recent studies showcased the regenerative potential of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) combined with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASC). PRF enhances cellular proliferation through sustained growth factor secretion which are continuously released …

[BACKGROUND] Quality indicators (QIs) are essential for assessing and improving healthcare delivery. Existing QIs for breast reconstruction are limited and do not comprehensively reflect clinical complexity or patient-centred outcomes. This…

Free muscle flaps can develop significant postoperative edema and wound exudation, thereby increasing interstitial pressure and potentially compromising microcirculation. While concerns exist regarding negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)…

The perioperative interplay between blood pressure, vasopressors, and macrocirculation is well established. However, in the context of free flap surgery, the potential impact of these factors on microvascular flow remains elusive. The aim w…

[BACKGROUND] Given that scars are acknowledged as the primary cause of postoperative dissatisfaction following reduction mammoplasty, it is imperative to comprehend the patient's visual perception of different scar patterns in order to enha…

[BACKGROUND] Age-related changes of facial soft tissue cause clinical signs of facial aging such as lip atrophy, marionette lines, and an accentuated nasolabial fold. These changes can be modified using dermal fillers. [AIMS] To evaluate e…

[BACKGROUND] While autologous fat grafting of the face is considered a generally safe procedure, severe complications such as arterial embolism (AE) have been reported. [OBJECTIVE] To summarize data on injection-related visual compromise, …

[OBJECTIVE] With more than 1.5 million performed procedures, liposuction was the second most performed esthetic surgical procedure all over the world in males and in females in the year 2020. The objective of this open-label, evaluator-blin…

[BACKGROUND] Research is an integral part of academic medicine. In plastic surgery, it sets the course for innovations in the specialty. The purpose of this study is to present the research performance of plastic surgeons in Germany for the…

[INTRODUCTION] Venous anastomosis remains to be a challenging step in microsurgical tissue transfer and venous complications constitute to a common reason for free flap failure. While several studies have compared mechanical vs. hand-sewn v…

The physiological differences between genders have significant implications for health and disease. With regard to microsurgery, results remain elusive as to whether male or female gender is an independent risk factor for free flap reconstr…

Postoperative free flap monitoring is considered a key component of care after microsurgical reconstruction. To achieve successful flap salvage after surgical revision, early recognition of vascular compromise is required. The aim of this s…

[BACKGROUND]  The risk for vascular complications is the highest within the first 24 hours after free flap transfer. Clinical signs of critical perfusion are often recognized with time delay, impeding flap salvage. To detect failing flaps a…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical tissue transfer revolutionized reconstructive surgery after extensive trauma, oncological resections, and severe infections. Complex soft tissue reconstructions are increasingly performed in multimorbid and elderl…

Abdominoplasty is a popular procedure in plastic surgery providing aesthetic, functional and psychological relief for patients suffering from excess abdominal tissue. Correct umbilical positioning is crucial for a successful aesthetic surgi…

Athanasiou et al. present a 7-step guide to high-definition (HD) liposuction in the current issue of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. [1] The guide was based on the authors vast experience in HD-liposuction performed in 568 patients (247 males an…

[BACKGROUND] Most plastic surgeons have encountered complications related to venous thromboembolism in their profession. However, considerable deficits in risk assessment and prophylaxis have been described. As outpatient procedures are inc…

This study investigated eye movement patterns using eye tracking technology when looking at preoperative and postoperative images of patients that underwent bilateral periorbital cosmetic surgery. The sequence of facial recognition before s…

[BACKGROUND] An increasing number of soft tissue filler procedures in the nasal region has been reported. Concomitant with demand, the number of complications has risen due to the difficulty in administering filler in a region where soft ti…

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty procedures using soft tissue fillers have gained popularity. With the increasing frequency of such procedures, the incidence of intra-arterial injection of soft tissue filler material and subsequent ischemia has also…

Because of its central location in the face, the nose plays an important role in the aesthetic perception of the face. To improve the appearance of the nose, surgical and nonsurgical rhinoplasty techniques have been described, although it s…

[BACKGROUND] Specialty training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery is a prerequisite for safe and effective provision of care. The aim of this study was to assess and portray similarities and differences in the continuing educ…

[BACKGROUND]  Patients requiring microsurgical defect reconstruction are highly susceptible to intraoperative hypothermia, given oftentimes long operative times and exposure of large skin surface areas. While the impact of hypothermia has b…

While autologous breast reconstruction has gained momentum over recent years, there is limited data on the structure and quality of care of microsurgical breast reconstruction in Germany. Using the breast reconstruction database established…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast reconstruction with autologous tissue is a state-of-the art procedure. Several patient-related factors have been identified with regard to the safety and efficacy of these reconstructions. The presented study investiga…

[INTRODUCTION] Several patient-related factors have been identified with regard to the safety and efficacy of breast reconstructions. This study analyzed the largest series of microsurgical breast reconstructions in Germany using deep infer…

[OBJECTIVE] Over the past decade numbers of bilateral mastectomy have increased steadily. As a result, bilateral breast reconstruction is gaining popularity. The presented study compares complications and outcomes of unilateral and bilatera…
