Breast tissue preservation (BTP) marks a transformative advancement in breast augmentation. Rooted in a conceptual framework that emphasizes the identification and preservation of the patient's native anatomy, BTP aims to maintain the breas…

The 3 components of a natural attractive breast are analyzed to understand the surgical techniques needed to provide natural results after breast augmentation. Hybrid gliding breast augmentation is proposed as a useful procedure to simultan…

Breast implants are not life-long devices. Breast augmentation surgeons need a tool to follow their patients as their implants age and evaluate patients with breast implant complications. Office-based ultrasounds are affordable, portable, a…

Capsular contracture is the most frequent complication following breast augmentation, prompting many revision surgeries. Its prevention has evolved through precise surgical technique, antimicrobial measures, and the use of innovative materi…

Breast implant malposition is a common, multifactorial complication and a leading contributor to reoperation in breast surgery. Malpositions may be unidirectional or multidirectional and can occur in inferior, medial, lateral, superior, or …

As the demand for breast implant removal continues to rise, surgeons need to consider whether to remove the surrounding capsule at the time of explantation and what type of capsulectomy should be performed. Following explantation, post-expl…

[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OPC) aims to combine oncological safety with improved esthetic and functional outcomes. However, comparative data incorporating patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), particularly sexu…

[BACKGROUND] Breast sharing using the contralateral breast is a reconstructive option for selected patients undergoing unilateral mastectomy who present with moderate to large ptotic breasts. The internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP) fl…

[BACKGROUND] Opioids have traditionally been the mainstay of postoperative pain management, but their side effects and potential for dependence have prompted increased focus on opioid-sparing strategies. This study evaluates the impact of i…

[BACKGROUND] Artificial intelligence (AI) models can inherit biases from their training data, a phenomenon documented in other fields, including the corporate and legal realms. This study is the first to investigate such biases in AI-genera…

The concept of the "ideal breast" in aesthetic surgery has historically varied across regions, with European surgeons favouring more natural outcomes and South American surgeons preferring fuller aesthetics. This study aimed to evaluate whe…

[PURPOSE] Pricing transparency and patient willingness to pay (WTP) are critical yet underexplored in aesthetic surgery. Cosmetic procedures have been described as exhibiting characteristics consistent with luxury or Veblen goods in certain…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the predominant reconstructive modality following mastectomy, accounting for more than 80% of all breast reconstruction procedures. Preventing subclinical infection at the time of i…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare lymphoma associated with textured implants. Earlier detection and timely implant/capsulectomy reduce morbidity and improve outcomes. CD30 is a sensit…

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of breast implant insertion funnels on capsular contracture rates in women undergoing breast reconstruction o…

[INTRODUCTION] Bacterial colonization of breast implants can lead to infections and capsular contracture, making contamination prevention essential. While conventional UVC254 light is germicidal, it poses risks to human skin and eyes. In co…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC) has emerged as a rare but aggressive malignancy with a mortality rate of 25% at 1 year. Its pathogenesis remains uncharacterized. [METHODS] Breast implant capsules fr…

Risk-reducing mastectomy and risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) for patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer with a BRCA gene mutation can be performed with simultaneous breast reconstruction. In this report, we present a …
