피막구축 Capsular Contracture

This narrative review provides an in-depth description of gender-affirming breast surgery within the context of publicly funded healthcare systems in the Nordic countries. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in collaboration wit…

[BACKGROUND] Breast ptosis commonly arises from tissue laxity associated with aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or lactation, often accompanied by upper-pole volume depletion. Post-lactational atrophy further exacerbates ptosis, causin…

[BACKGROUND] Implant pocket selection is a key determinant of safety and aesthetic outcomes in primary breast augmentation. Despite the widespread use of subglandular, subfascial, submuscular, and dual-plane techniques, no clear consensus e…

For breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction, postmastectomy radiation therapy jeopardizes reconstruction outcomes, yet no universal consensus exists for integrating postmastectomy radiation therapy with breast recons…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular Contracture (CC) is a key downstream complication of breast implant surgery captured by breast implant registries worldwide. A number of factors have a been linked to CC development including smooth implants and bacter…

Capsular contracture (CC) is the most frequent complication associated with silicone-based breast implant surgery and often leads to multiple revision surgeries. The implantation of a foreign object triggers the formation of a fibrous capsu…

The durability of silicone breast implants is critical for successful aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes. Intraoperative breast pocket irrigation is routinely performed to reduce infection and capsular contracture, but the effect of comm…

Current trends in cosmetic breast surgery have shifted toward more balanced and natural-appearing aesthetic enhancements. Surgical planning for these procedures requires a nuanced understanding of patient goals, anatomy, implant selection, …

[INTRODUCTION] Surgeon preferences in implant-based reconstruction have increasingly favored firmer gel implants for their superior stability, reduced gel bleed, and lower capsular contracture rates. However, this has paralleled an increase…

[BACKGROUND] Breast surgery often compromises structures, potentially leading to complications that affect aesthetic outcomes, lactation, breast tissue health, and the patient experience. Tissue-Preserving Breast Augmentation (TPBA) is a no…

Implant-based breast reconstruction is frequently complicated by capsular contracture and surgical-site infection. Current mesh materials are unable to effectively address these complications due to inherent limitations. This study introduc…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains a significant complication of nipple-sparing mastectomy(NSM) with immediate direct-to-implant(DTI) reconstruction. Although local inflammation is known to contribute to its development, the role of …

[BACKGROUND] Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) is a key component of breast cancer care, reducing locoregional recurrence in appropriately selected patients. Concurrently, use of mastectomy with implant-based breast reconstruction has…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation (BA) is one of the most commonly performed plastic procedures worldwide. The transaxillary approach (TAA) has gained popularity for avoiding visible breast scars. Despite its increasing adoption in the clini…

[AIM] To compare postoperative complications between prepectoral and subpectoral immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) in patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy. [METHODS] This systematic review and meta-analysis wer…

[BACKGROUND] The treatment of neglected chronic lunate dislocations is controversial while open reduction of lunate was often not available in the situation. Lunate excision, partial wrist fusion, or proximal row carpectomy (PRC) were recom…

[OBJECTIVE] Breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma with a single T cell clone is an uncommon complication especially related to implants with a textured surface. Moreover, there are few reports of breast implant-associated…

[BACKGROUND] Augmentation mastopexy is a complex and technically demanding procedure that addresses breast ptosis and volume deficiency simultaneously. It requires careful planning, precise surgical techniques, and customization to each pat…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast augmentation remains widely practiced but is increasingly scrutinized due to complications such as rupture, capsular contracture, and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Fat…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a leading cause of morbidity after breast augmentation and often necessitates reoperation. This study analyzes the association between breast capsule thickness and severity of capsular contracture, disti…
