피막구축 Capsular Contracture

[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…

[BACKGROUND] Submuscular augmentation mastopexy (AM) is often recommended to improve stability and reduce implant visibility despite the risk of breast animation. Objective systems to measure this outcome are restricted by a lack of quantit…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a common complication of implant-based breast reconstructive surgery and is especially challenging in the setting of post-mastectomy radiation. The objective of this study was two-fold; first to develop …

Breast reconstruction and breast augmentation via silicone breast implants are among the most commonly performed implant surgeries worldwide. However, these surgeries entail notable risks for postoperative implant complications, including i…

[BACKGROUND] Prepectoral direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction is currently the most widely used implant-based reconstruction method, which often utilizes an acellular dermal matrix (ADM)-assisted approach. There are two primary met…

[BACKGROUND] Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), a naturally occurring component of human connective tissue, serves as a biomedically produced thermoplastic polyester scaffold that has been used in many surgical subspecialties. The utilization o…

[BACKGROUND] Conventional breast augmentation using different approaches and implant pockets faces challenges such as societal stigma, long recovery time, invasion of the breast, and complication rates. Previous minimally invasive approache…

[BACKGROUND] Utilization of the subfascial plane in breast augmentation has many purported advantages. To further develop our understanding of the potential advantages of the subfascial augmentation technique a direct comparison to the ubiq…

[BACKGROUND] The Baker classification is used to grade capsular contracture after breast-implant surgery; yet, its correlation with patient-reported outcomes is poor. [OBJECTIVES] To determine whether histopathological verification of caps…

[BACKGROUND] The efficacy of 1-stage augmentation-mastopexy has been well established throughout the literature. Limited evidence exists examining outcomes in the secondary augmentation-mastopexy patient. [OBJECTIVES] To evaluate the long-…

[BACKGROUND] The FDA requires implant manufacturers to continue collecting safety and efficacy data annually through Year 10. Investigators are encouraged to follow their enrolled patients in person to obtain the most accurate and complete …

[BACKGROUND] Direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction offers several advantages over the 2-stage implant-based breast reconstruction approach. However, the outcomes of prepectoral reconstruction are debated. Many previous studies contained co…

[BACKGROUND] The increasing incidence of breast cancer leads to the increasing number of mastectomies and frequency of immediate breast reconstruction, particularly using direct-to-implant (DTI) methods. Capsular contracture remains a signi…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Our findings indicate that the use of a lipodermal flap in one-stage pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction was associated with relatively complication and revision rates in this cohort. However, compli…

[PURPOSE] The use of cosmetic fillers has become increasingly popular. Radiologists and sonographers should be aware of the ultrasonographic characteristics of the most commonly used cosmetic fillers and the sonographic features of their fr…

Breast reconstruction is essential for restoring self-image and quality of life after mastectomy. While current methods using implants or autologous tissue are prevalent, they face challenges such as capsular contracture and volume loss. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Red breast syndrome (RBS) is a self-limited, non-infectious erythema historically linked to acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction. Recent reports suggest a declining incidence, potentially related to ADM adv…

[BACKGROUND] Revision breast reconstruction is often necessary to address complications, reduce asymmetry, or improve the aesthetic result. Our previously described use of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) has shown promise in primary reconstru…
