: Patients admitted to plastic surgery units increasingly present with multimorbidity, advanced age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic wounds, and complex metabolic requirements. In several surgical specialties, internal medicine sp…

[BACKGROUND] Over the past two decades, liposuction techniques have significantly evolved, moving from basic fat removal to sophisticated methods aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and cosmetic outcomes. This study evaluates the efficac…

[BACKGROUND] Weight loss patients present with major deformities, leading to the rapid development of new body contouring techniques to address their specificities. Abdominal skin laxity is often major due to rapid weight loss and inflammat…

[BACKGROUND] High-definition abdominal liposuction is a complex procedure requiring optimal anesthetic management to ensure patient safety and favorable outcomes. This study evaluates and compares the safety and efficacy of general anesthes…

[INTRODUCTION] Low back pain (LBP) significantly impairs quality of life and is frequently associated with diastasis recti abdominis (DRA), particularly in postpartum women. This study aims to evaluate the impact of lipoabdominoplasty with …

Autologous fat grafting has become integral to breast reconstruction, yet variability in graft retention continues to challenge its reliability. This study aimed to characterize the biological and clinical properties of adipose tissue harve…

[BACKGROUND] Two-stages pre-pectoral breast reconstruction may confer advantages over direct to implant (DTI) and subpectoral reconstruction in selected patients who have no indication for autologous reconstruction. The primary endpoint of …

Breast reconstructive surgery has evolved significantly over the years. One of the recent advancements is the use of prepectoral implants in combination with synthetic and biological material as a natural and effective coverage. To date, th…

Gynecomastia is defined as a benign condition of the male caused by tissue overgrowth (Blau and Hazani in Plast Reconstruct Surg 135(2): 425-432, 2015). Its incidence ranges widely in the world population, ranging from 32 to 65% (Innocenti …

[BACKGROUND] As one of the most common aesthetic surgical procedures carried out today, blepharoplasty should be in the repertoire of every plastic surgeon. The term blepharoplasty encompasses a wide range of techniques and options that mus…

: Surgeons have long been aware of Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will". When applied to surgery, Murphy's Law suggests that if there is a way that an operation can be set up incorrectly then someday, somewhere, it will be set …

[BACKGROUND] Innovations and advancements with implant-based breast reconstruction, such as the use of ADMs, fat grafting, NSMs, and better implants, have enabled surgeons to now place breast implants in the pre-pectoral space rather than u…

[PURPOSE] In modern breast cancer treatment, a growing role has been observed for breast reconstruction together with an increase in clinical indications for postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). Choosing the optimum type of reconstructive te…

Rectus muscles widened by pregnancy are handled in dramatically different ways in standard abdominoplasty and mesh abdominoplasty. Patients with significant abdominal wall laxity and/or umbilical hernia repair are treated with the use of re…

Mesenchymal stem cells extracted from adipose tissue are particularly promising given the ease of harvest by standard liposuction and reduced donor site morbidity. This study proposes a novel enzymatic method for isolating stem cells using …

[BACKGROUND] Liposuction is a safe, simple, and effective method of body contouring. Pain, ecchymosis, and edema are often local complications at the removal site, especially in the first weeks after surgery. Several studies have shown that…

The demand for procedures aiming to rejuvenate the upper third part of the face and the periocular region has increased in the past several years. Blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures worldwide to date. Surgery …

: Prepectoral implant placement in breast reconstruction is currently a must-have in the portfolios of breast surgeons. The introduction of new tools and conservative mastectomies is a game changer in this field. The prepectoral plane usual…

Plastic surgeons have used the reconstructive ladder for many decades as a standard directory for complex trauma reconstruction with the goal of repairing body structures and restoring functionality. This consists of different surgical mane…

There has been recently heightened media-driven attention to BII and BI-ALCL. Nowadays the importance of receiving correct and complete evidence-based information about these diseases and the potential impact of these emerging issues on dis…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction after mastectomy using silicone implants is a surgical procedure that occasionally leads to capsular contracture formation. This phenomenon constitutes an important and persistent cause of morbidity, and n…

Reconstructive surgery of the eyelid after tumor excision, trauma or other causes can be challenging, especially due to the complexities of the anatomic structures and to the necessity of both functional and aesthetic successful outcomes. T…
