유방성형술 Mammoplasty

[BACKGROUND] Black race is associated with worse outcomes following implant and autologous breast reconstruction. Although oncoplastic surgery is increasingly used to optimize aesthetic and oncologic outcomes, it remains unclear whether sim…

[PURPOSE] The level of the umbilicus is considered a watershed between the axillary and superficial inguinal nodal basins. Flap elevation during abdominoplasty may disrupt the continuity of lymphatic flow. In this study, we aimed to evaluat…

[PURPOSE] Numeracy, the ability to understand numerical concepts, is a key component of health literacy. This study examines rates of innumeracy and its association with demographics to inform patient education strategies in plastic surgery…

[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…

[INTRODUCTION] Assessing the ability of AI chatbots to provide information consistent with clinical guidelines is essential for evaluating the accuracy of the information that patients may receive. We evaluated the ability of three widely u…

Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) has become more accessible in recent years. It aims to align the physical characteristics of transgender individuals with their gender identity to alleviate distress associated with gender dysphoria. This may …

Oil cysts and fat necrosis are common complications of breast trauma. With the increased availability and sophistication of breast imaging, fat necrosis has become a frequent and typically benign finding in radiological practice. Nonetheles…

[BACKGROUND] Single-stage augmentation mastopexy carries a risk of wound dehiscence and implant exposure due to the inherent skin tension associated with simultaneous lifting and volume enhancement. Kinesiotape has been proposed as an adjun…

[BACKGROUND] Most existing research on breast vasculature has focused on autopsy findings or imaging analyses in patients with breast hypertrophy, while investigations specifically targeting augmentation candidates remain limited. [OBJECTI…

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] Reconstructing upper-quadrant defects in oncoplastic breast reduction (OBR) can be challenging due to upper-pole concavity after tumor resection. To address this, we adopted a dual-component technique using 2 separate flaps: (1…

[BACKGROUND] The dynamic interaction between breast implants and tissues influences long-term aesthetic outcomes after augmentation mammaplasty. Implant characteristics such as shape, gel cohesivity and surface texture may affect postoperat…

[BACKGROUND] In ptotic/macromastic breasts, nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) risks ischemic complications. Staging with nipple repositioning (mastopexy or breast reduction) may improve perfusion, but uncertainty remains regarding safety and …

[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] Because the breast is one of the target organs of estrogen and progesterone, it is confirmed to have periodic changes through the menstrual cycle. Several studies reported that surgeries on the breast could be influenced by the…

[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] Breast reduction surgery effectively alleviates symptoms of macromastia, but the impact of diabetes on surgical outcomes remains insufficiently studied. [OBJECTIVES] The authors of this study aim to evaluate the effect of diab…

[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] Previous studies suggest higher revision rates after primary breast augmentation after massive weight loss (MWL); yet, specific risk factors remain unclear. Robust predictive models are lacking. [OBJECTIVES] The study aimed to…
