[PURPOSE] The use of cosmetic fillers has become increasingly popular. Radiologists and sonographers should be aware of the ultrasonographic characteristics of the most commonly used cosmetic fillers and the sonographic features of their fr…

Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery perforator flaps (DIEP flaps) have become the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction; yet they remain complex procedures due to highly individual perforator anatomy. Increasingly, computed tomograp…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous breast reconstruction using abdominal tissue has become the gold standard approach to reconstruction following mastectomy. However, long term sensory loss at the donor site is a common yet understudied complication. …

Harvesting DIEP or msTRAM flaps for autologous breast reconstruction may lead to complications such as hernia formation and abdominal bulging at the donor site. This consensus statement aims to identify and recommend strategies to minimize …

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to determine whether oncoplastic surgery improves resection margins compared to lumpectomy alone in patients undergoing breast conserving therapy, as determined by re-excision rates. [BACKGROUND] Prior studies h…

Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is an immunologically inert graft, typically from cadaveric skin, often used in postmastectomy breast reconstruction. Created from decellularized dermal tissues that have been treated to remove DNA and antigeni…

[BACKGROUND] Prior studies investigating the impact of preoperative computed tomography (CT)-angiography (pCTA) on outcomes for autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) have had conflicting results, in part because they have been largely limi…

[BACKGROUND] We present a novel method for accurately measuring skin-surface distances using standard smartphone photos and Photoshop, validated on 3D-printed DIEP-flap models and on calibration grid-patterns. [MATERIALS AND METHODS] Dista…

[BACKGROUND] Hybrid breast reconstruction combines free tissue transfer with implant placement. Various mesh products have been successfully used to secure the implant position in these reconstructions. In this study, the authors investigat…

[BACKGROUND] The use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in implant-based breast reconstruction has become increasingly routine during the past 20 years. ADMs improve soft-tissue support, facilitate greater tissue expander (TE) fill volumes…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous breast reconstruction yields improved long-term aesthetic results but requires increased resources of practitioners and hospital systems. Innovations in radiographic imaging have been increasingly used to improve the…

[BACKGROUND] Evidence has shown increased morbidity and mortality for patients with COVID-19 infection within 7 weeks of surgery. However, no studies have specifically investigated the effects of COVID-19 in microsurgical outcomes. This stu…

Plastic surgeons routinely use 3D-models in their clinical practice, from 3D-photography and surface imaging to 3D-segmentations from radiological scans. However, these models continue to be viewed on flattened 2D screens that do not enable…

[BACKGROUND]  With the growing relevance of artificial intelligence (AI)-based patient-facing information, microsurgical-specific online information provided by professional organizations was compared with that of ChatGPT (Chat Generative P…

Autologous postmastectomy breast reconstruction is associated with favourable long-term clinical outcomes and superior patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) compared with implant-based reconstruction. However, adjuvant radiotherapy has traditio…

[BACKGROUND] The superiority of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) on breast aesthetics and patient-reported outcomes has previously been demonstrated. Despite 42.4% of adults in the United States being considered obese, obesity has been consi…

[BACKGROUND] The off-label use of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists for cosmetic weight loss has captured the interest of the public. However, there is a paucity of published data on their utilization, implications, and management, p…

[BACKGROUND] Impostor phenomenon occurs when high-achieving individuals have persistent self-doubt despite objective measures of competence and success, and has been associated with professional burnout and attenuated career advancement in …

[PURPOSE] Composite measures, like textbook outcomes, may be superior to individual metrics when assessing hospital performance and quality of care. This study utilized a Delphi process to define a textbook outcome in DIEP flap breast recon…

[INTRODUCTION] Microvascular thrombosis with resultant flap loss remains a devastating complication in autologous breast reconstruction. While acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for prevention of microvascular thrombosis is commonly administered po…

[BACKGROUND] In the event of incorrect surgical counts, obtaining X-rays to rule out retained surgical items (RSI) is standard practice. However, these safeguards also carry risk. This study investigates the actual incidence of RSI in plast…

Shared decision-making gives patients greater autonomy in their healthcare decisions; however, decisions that result in negative outcomes may lead to decision regret. The complexity of reconstructive options makes post-mastectomy breast rec…

Microsurgical reconstruction has established itself as a standard procedure in breast reconstruction as it permits creation of a natural and aesthetically appealing breast mound, even after modified radical mastectomy and radiation. In the …

[UNLABELLED] Evidence-based venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention among aesthetic patients is lacking. This study seeks to (1) quantify 2005 Caprini scores in primary breast augmentation patients, (2) determine the proportion of patients …

In this article, we discuss 4 common free flaps performed in reconstructive surgery: the anterolateral thigh flap, the radial forearm flap, the fibula flap, and the transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous/deep inferior epigastric perforato…

[BACKGROUND] Breast capsular contracture is a major problem following implant-based breast reconstruction, particularly in the setting of radiation therapy. Recent work has identified a fibrogenic fibroblast subpopulation characterized by C…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous breast reconstruction has been demonstrated to be associated with superior patient-reported outcomes, and hence is regarded as the gold standard reconstructive modality. A common drawback of this procedure, however, …

The use of systemic prophylactic antibiotics to reduce surgical-site infection in esthetic breast surgery remains controversial, although the majority of surgeons prefer to utilize antibiotics to prevent infection. Nonetheless, postoperativ…

[BACKGROUND] Nipple-sparing mastectomy has been associated with superior aesthetic outcomes and oncologic safety. However, traditional contraindications, such as breast ptosis/macromastia, have excluded a large number of patients. The purpo…
