유방성형술 Mammoplasty

[BACKGROUND] Adjunct liposuction is routinely performed during reduction mammaplasty (RM) to improve lateral chest contour. However, its impact on complications across pedicle techniques and whether drains modify this risk remains unclear. …

Intraoperative hypothermia is a common yet underrecognized concern in plastic surgery, contributing to increased risks of surgical site infections, coagulopathy, and delayed recovery. This study characterizes intraoperative temperature dyna…

The aim of bilateral breast augmentation (BBA) is not just to enlarge the breast, but to create an aesthetically pleasing enlarged breast. This is an elective surgical procedure, often performed on young healthy women-yet the incidence of r…

[BACKGROUND] Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) improves aesthetic outcomes but carries a higher risk of ischemic complications, particularly in patients with large, ptotic breasts. This study evaluates whether reduction mammaplasty prior to N…

Several techniques for performing mastopexy and reduction mammaplasty have been reported; however, none has effectively maintained breast and upper pole projection. Silicone implants address these limitations but are associated with higher …

[BACKGROUND] Patients undergoing plastic surgery have higher rates of psychiatric disorders, which can influence surgical outcomes and quality of life (QoL). [METHODS] A retrospective review was conducted of patients with or without psychi…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a common complication following breast augmentation and reconstruction with implants. Implant rupture is suspected to cause capsular contracture, but the evidence remains limited. [METHODS] This intrapa…

[BACKGROUND] Oil cyst formation is a common complication following autologous fat grafting (AFG) for breast augmentation. Despite various fat processing techniques, no consensus exists on the optimal method to mitigate this complication. Th…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a challenging entity to treat with consistent success. Recently, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been shown to be a highly effective therapeutic adjunct, particularly for patients at high risk for recu…

[BACKGROUND] This study revisits previously described skin-reducing mastectomy and dermal flap-muscle pocket techniques for immediate breast reconstruction in large, drooping breasts. Compared to techniques previously described in the liter…

[BACKGROUND] Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is increasingly used for breast augmentation, either for primary augmentation or symmetrization in the unaffected, native breasts following breast reconstruction. However, the incidence of fat necr…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery and a cornerstone of resident training. While its safety and benefits are well established, the impact of resident participation on surgical outco…

Benchmarking is a quality improvement tool used to help define the best potential outcomes from specific surgical procedures. Modern breast augmentation includes detailed patient education and informed consent including the FDA checklist. P…

This article chronicles a 30 year evolution in breast augmentation, highlighting advances in implants, techniques, and anatomic understanding while reaffirming foundational surgical principles. It traces the transition from subglandular to …

Transaxillary breast augmentation has been long misunderstood, perceived as being more technically difficult, taking longer to perform, and having higher risk of contracture and other complications. This chapter focuses on the nuances of in…
