[BACKGROUND] There are many pathways to leadership, but few historically were designed with women in mind. This study aimed to report on common trends, characteristics, pathways, and achievements among successful women plastic surgery leade…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgical techniques have revolutionized the field of reconstructive surgery and are the mainstay for complex soft tissue reconstruction. However, their limitations have promoted the development of viable alternatives. This…

Liposuction is a surgical procedure used to remove localized excess adipose tissue. According to The Aesthetic Society's latest annual report, liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure. Despite its popularity, the existi…

[BACKGROUND] The authors evaluated trends in practice patterns for abdominoplasty based on a 16-year review of tracer data collected by the American Board of Plastic Surgery as part of the continuous certification process. [METHODS] To fac…

[BACKGROUND] Although breast implant techniques have advanced considerably since the first recorded augmentation procedure in 1895, rupture remains a significant complication. Proper diagnosis is vital for patients' well-being but can somet…

Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic surgeries worldwide and often includes grafting techniques to achieve optimal results. One of these grafting techniques is autologous fat transfer, which has been used to increase volume, cam…

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text.…

Fat grafting is one of the most revolutionary surgical techniques of our century, and it has changed the field of plastic surgery and regenerative medicine. Early reports of fat grafting date back to the late nineteenth century, but the res…

[BACKGROUND] Aesthetic surgery is a critical component of academic plastic surgery. As institutions are placing increased focus on aesthetic surgery, there is an opportunity to identify factors that facilitate the creation and maintenance o…

[UNLABELLED] Biomaterials derived from human adipose extracellular matrix have shown promise in vitro and in animal studies as an off-the-shelf adipogenic matrix for sustained volume replacement. Herein, we report the results of a randomize…

After massive weight loss (MWL), patients present with deformities that are more severe and often different than those observed in standard cosmetic abdominoplasty. The first step is careful consideration of the special factors involved in …

The technique of dermal suspension, parenchymal reshaping mastopexy is a useful procedure for patients with massive weight loss with a typical presentation. The operation is tailored to the individual deformity, powerfully reshapes the brea…

[BACKGROUND] The Plastic Surgery Milestones Project was jointly conceived by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Board of Plastic Surgery as a tool to improve granularity in resident feedback. Resident …

[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting has emerged as the treatment of choice for soft-tissue augmentation and reconstruction. Variability of volume retention remains the greatest challenge for this technique, often requiring multiple operations to achi…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Massive weight loss (MWL) can result in variable contour deformities of the breasts. The Pittsburgh Rating Scale (PRS) was designed to describe the multitude of deformities after MWL and recommends operations to …

[BACKGROUND] Many aspire to leadership in academic plastic surgery yet there is no well-documented pathway. [METHODS] Information regarding plastic surgery residencies and program directors was obtained from the American Medical Associatio…

[OBJECTIVE] One of the rate-limiting barriers within the field of vascular tissue engineering is the lengthy fabrication time associated with expanding appropriate cell types in culture. One particularly attractive cell type for this purpos…

[BACKGROUND] Augmentation mastopexy in the massive weight loss population is challenging because of poor skin elasticity and lack of inframammary support. Despite several large studies of augmentation mastopexy in the literature, few data e…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration released draft guidance documents on human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products regulations. These proposed guidance documents can impact the practice of plastic surgery in the area of…

Thermal (temporal) strain imaging (TSI) is being developed to detect the lipid-rich core of atherosclerotic plaques and presence of fatty liver disease. However, the effects of ultrasonic clutter on TSI have not been considered. In this stu…

Gigantomastia is a disabling condition for patients and presents unique challenges to plastic surgeons. Presentation can occur throughout different phases of life, and treatment often begins with nonoperative measures; however, the most eff…

[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting is a powerful procedure limited by unpredictable volume loss. Grafted tissue survives via plasmatic imbibition until neovascularization occurs; therefore, fat that is deposited more than 0.2 cm from capillaries wil…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After reading this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Provide a careful preoperative evaluation. 2. Understand the relevant anatomy. 3. Appreciate and apply the range of procedures that can be applied to ad…

[BACKGROUND] Studies describing recent abdominoplasty modifications have reported a decreased incidence of seroma, attributed to preservation of abdominal lymphatics. However, there are limited anatomical data to support this hypothesis. Th…

[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a lysine-derived urethane adhesive as a noninvasive alternative to closed suction drains in a commonly performed large flap surgical procedure. [METHODS] One hundred thirty subjects u…

[BACKGROUND] Complication profiles of medial thighplasty in the massive weight loss population are not well described. The authors present their experience with these procedures in the massive weight loss population. [METHODS] Thighplasty …
