Capsular contracture (CC) is a common complication following breast augmentation. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is increasingly used to reduce and treat CC in breast augmentation. However, rare cases of ADM-associated CC can occur. In this …

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of microsurgery versus complex physical decongestive therapy in people with chronic breast cancer-related lymphoedema.…

Achieving optimal neck contour during facial rejuvenation may require addressing the submandibular glands, as supraplatysmal fat removal alone is insufficient for many patients, particularly those with fuller necks. The purpose of this stud…

[BACKGROUND] The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends silicone breast implant rupture surveillance using MRI or ultrasound beginning at 5-6 years post-insertion and every 2-3 years thereafter. No surveillance guidelin…

[BACKGROUND] Increased understanding of breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma has led to a shift away from textured breast devices. A few small studies have compared the complication rates of textured and smooth tissue ex…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a subtype of ALCL that arises as a seroma or a mass in the capsule surrounding textured breast implants. However, collections of cases usually come from lar…

The foreign body reaction (FBR) to biomaterials results in fibrous encapsulation. Excessive capsule fibrosis (capsular contracture) is a major challenge to the long-term stability of implants. Clinical data suggests that the tissue type in …

The breast implant capsule is a dynamic structure that forms following the implantation of a device. Although normally benign, increased awareness of breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) highlights that diseas…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (breast implant-associated ALCL) is a recently described, distinct clinicopathological entity associated with macrotextured breast implants. The diagnostic workup of a patient suspect…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE] Implant-based breast surgery is a common procedure for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. Breast implants, like any foreign object, trigger the formation of a capsule around them. While generally harmless…

[BACKGROUND] Refinement of the nasal tip plays an important role in rhinoplasty surgery outcomes and may be considered the most technically challenging aspect of the procedure. Numerous techniques have been described for nasal tip augmentat…

Patents are of great importance to plastic surgery, a field fueled by constant innovation. Familiarity with the patent process could promote further innovation by plastic surgeons. By granting proprietary rights to inventors in exchange for…

Breast implant surgery for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes is becoming increasingly common. While the devices used are regulated and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, all patients with breast implants require continued fo…

[BACKGROUND] Although plastic surgeons commonly perform capsulectomies for a variety of peri-prosthetic capsular conditions, the safety of capsulectomy remains unknown, and the literature lacks evidence describing its morbidity and complica…

An aesthetically pleasing umbilicus is a critical component to the overall cosmesis and resultant patient satisfaction after deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. Because of variables in body habitus,…

Chronic inflammation, long implicated in the genesis of malignancy, is now understood to underlie an estimated 25% of all cancers. The most pertinent malignancies, to the plastic surgeon, associated with the degeneration of chronic inflamma…

[BACKGROUND] The association between textured surface breast implants and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has led to an increase in surgical procedures to exchange textured devices to smooth surface implants. Becaus…

Over 400,000 women in the United States alone will have breast implant surgery each year. Although capsular contracture represents the most common complication of breast implant surgery, surgeons continue to debate the precise etiology. Gen…

Although innovation and entrepreneurship are complementary in the process of creating new products, plastic surgeons are frequently discouraged by the challenges associated with the regulatory and administrative environments in patent filin…

Chronic complications following anterior cranial fossa tumor extirpation, such as cerebrospinal fluid leak, meningitis, mucocele, pneumocephalus, and abscess, negatively impact patient quality of life. Robust vascularized tissue is generall…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation is among the most frequently performed cosmetic plastic surgeries. Providing patients with "realistic" 3D simulations of breast augmentation outcomes is becoming increasingly common. Until recently, such pro…

[BACKGROUND] Breast ptosis can occur with aging, and after weight loss and breastfeeding. Mastopexy is a procedure used to modify the size, contour and elevation of sagging breasts without changing breast volume. To gain more knowledge on t…

[BACKGROUND] Cost-utility studies, common in medicine, are rare within plastic surgery despite their capability of measuring the value of procedures by considering the societal costs of improving quality of life. The objectives of this stud…
