[BACKGROUND] Pain is a prominent symptom following prosthetic breast augmentation by means of axillary incision, and persists throughout hospitalization. However, routine analgesia is not always effective for all patients. Duration of regio…

[BACKGROUND] Secondary reduction mammaplasty poses challenges. [OBJECTIVES] This article delves into the reasons and complaints regarding secondary repair following double-ring method and outlines the principle and logic of utilizing verti…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery is currently the most critical treatment for macromastia. Preoperatively, patients are not only concerned about the surgical outcomes and potential complications but also about the amount of breast tiss…

[BACKGROUND] Although breast augmentation for ptosis correction has significant advantages and achieves favorable outcomes in specific indications, for patients with large breast volume or significant ptosis, implant alone often fails to pr…

Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a significant complication following mammaplasty, with varying incidence rates and symptoms. The etiology of capsular contracture is multifactorial, with postoperative hematoma recognized as a potential …

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has emerged as a highly sought-after plastic surgery procedure, although its success has been hampered by the uncertain fat survival rate. Current evidence suggests that adipose-derived stem cells …

[BACKGROUND] In reduction mammoplasty, preserving an appropriate skin flap is crucial to achieve a favorable postoperative appearance and prevent blood supply disorders in the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). Previous studies have indicated th…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction has a wide selection of pedicles but often relies on the surgeon's preference and experience. Necrosis of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is a catastrophic complication of breast reduction surgery. [OBJECTIVES…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation mainly includes implant-based and autologous fat grafting augmentation. Choosing the right surgical method for the patient is particularly important. However, an analysis of the factors that may affect the c…

[BACKGROUND] In addition to symptom relief, the crucial objective of reduction mammoplasty is to achieve a stable and esthetically pleasing postoperative breast shape. However, the morphological changes in breasts following reduction mammop…

[BACKGROUND] Endoscopic-assisted transaxillary breast augmentation allows performing Pecs block under direct visualization. This study aimed to describe this new technique and demonstrat its short-term efficacy and safety with a preliminary…

[BACKGROUND] The retention rate in autologous fat grafting is an increasing concern for surgeons and patients. Our previous research verified that thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) positively affected fat survival, while the mechanism was unknown. The …

[BACKGROUND] Donor age is an important factor affecting the biological characteristics of human adipose-derived stem cells. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of age on the biological properties of cryopreserved adipose-derive…

[BACKGROUND] Transaxillary endoscopic dual-plane breast augmentation is becoming increasingly mature. The intraoperative separation of the implant into the space is often performed using monopolar cautery. The use of the harmonic scalpel ha…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous adipose tissue has become increasingly popular in cosmetic and plastic reconstructive surgery, especially breast augmentation surgery. However, the volume retention rate after transplantation significantly varies and…

[BACKGROUND] The location of the inframammary fold is the most critical step in the preoperative marking of implant augmentation mammoplasty. At present, most of the calculation formulas for new inframammary fold location determination are …

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative fat volume retention rate (PFVRR) after augmentation mammoplasty with autologous fat grafting is highly variable on an individual basis and challenging to be predicted. However, at present, there is a lack of furt…

[BACKGROUND] Diameters greater than 1.5 mm are considered one of the generally accepted criteria for utilizing superficial epigastric artery (SIEA) flaps for breast reconstruction. However, this standard fails to consider individual differe…

[BACKGROUND] Most techniques for surgical correction of gynecomastia are performed by anterior and/or lateral chest incisions, showing an "operated" appearance. Our initial experience was introduced in gynecomastia with a combination of end…

[BACKGROUND] Induced browning adipocytes were assumed less viable and more prone to necrosis for their hypermetabolic property. A previous study showed that browning of adipocytes was more evident in fat grafts with necrosis in humans. [OB…

[BACKGROUND] Adipose tissue harvested by liposuctions is an available source of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Water-jet-assisted liposuction is a favorable method for fat collection with little mechanical damage. This study aimed to in…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat grafting has been widely used in the field of plastic surgery, especially breast aesthetic augmentation. However, postoperative fat volume retention rate is still difficult to predict. [OBJECTIVE] The authors co…

[BACKGROUND] Breast hypertrophy is a chronic health problem. Until now, reduction mammaplasty is still a critical treatment for this disease. Given the publications, which reviewed the relationship between operation and quality of life, bas…
