피막구축 Capsular Contracture

[BACKGROUND] This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of an augmentation mastopexy technique utilizing an inferior-medial dermoglandular flap rotated and fixed to the lateral fascia of the pectoralis major muscle, along with the serratu…

[BACKGROUND] Because of concerns related to breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, smooth implants are being increasingly used instead of textured breast implants. However, lack of sufficient lower-pole support for smooth…

[BACKGROUND] Revision surgery after breast augmentation is performed for various reasons. Understanding the causes and patients' attitudes toward implant management (removal or replacement) is critical for improving outcomes. [METHODS] A r…

[BACKGROUND] Periareolar mastopexy (PM) is a widely used technique for breast lift surgery, often combined with implants to improve breast volume. In recent years, autologous fat grafting (FG) has emerged as an adjunct to PM, enhancing cont…

[BACKGROUND] The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction has become increasingly widespread, aiming to enhance prosthetic support, reduce capsular contracture, and improve aesthetic outcomes. …

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) such as human-derived AlloDerm and Cortiva are widely used in implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) to provide soft-tissue support. AlloDerm is considered a standard ADM, while Cortiva (and…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains a prevalent complication following breast implant augmentation. Despite growing interest in pharmacological prevention, optimal drug selection and administration timing remain unclear. [OBJECTIVES]…

: Capsular contracture remains the most common complication after breast augmentation. The Baker score is a classical, yet subjective method to assess the contracture, therefore more objective and reproducible measures are necessary to not …

This paper will present release profiles of Doxorubicin.HCl from halo-spun drug-loaded rubbery porous mats. For the very first time, Fluorescent Organism Bioimaging (FOBI) was used to follow drug release in a live animal model with induced…

Post-mastectomy implant-based reconstruction can be performed as direct-to-implant (DTI) or two-staged reconstruction (TSR). Rigorous studies have explored postoperative complications between TSR or DTI, yet few have stratified outcomes by …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a common complication in breast implant surgery, with subclinical bacterial inflammation being a significant factor. Traditional methods to prevent capsular contracture include antibiotic irrigation and …

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a major complication of breast reconstruction with silicone implants, affecting patients' quality of life due to pain and esthetic concerns. Capsular contracture is considered to result from an excessive…

[BACKGROUND] In immediate expander/implant reconstruction, postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) can be administered at two different time points: during tissue expander insertion or after exchange with an implant. The optimal timing for …

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most commonly performed reconstructive technique following mastectomy. With an increasing number of patients undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction, concerns have arisen regard…

[BACKGROUND] Patients who underwent breast reconstruction with submuscular implants frequently experience animation deformity (AD), pain, and cosmetic issues, warranting consideration of implant removal, exchange, pocket change, or autologo…

Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) following total mastectomy is now an established surgical approach that combines oncological safety with aesthetic benefits. This review discusses indications, techniques, and surgical adaptations of IB…

Tertiary breast reconstruction with free tissue transfers is the gold standard in managing recalcitrant complications of implant-based whole breast reconstructions (WBRs). Whilst the salvage of implant-based WBR with free tissue transfers i…

[BACKGROUND] The role of mitigation strategies to decrease contamination during breast implant surgery has advanced over the years, and the utility of implantation funnels has been recently validated by several studies. However, the additio…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. However, the reoperation rate following mammoplasty reaches up to 36%, with implant malposition being a major cause of revision surge…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains the leading cause of revision surgery following implant-based breast augmentation, with growing evidence suggesting that biofilm may play a key role in its formation. This study aimed to evaluate th…
