[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] Achieving breast symmetry represents a critical endpoint in reduction mammoplasty. Historically, surgeons have been predominantly depended on anthropometric parameters, such as linear measurements and tactile evaluation, to gui…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reduction surgery provides both functional and aesthetic benefits and enables incidental detection of breast pathology. Although high-risk or malignant lesions are uncommon, their long-term clinical relevance remains unc…

[BACKGROUND] Serotonergic antidepressants have been associated with an increased risk of weight gain. Because being overweight is strongly linked to macromastia development, which is a primary indication for breast reduction, it is very imp…

In patients with large areolae, undefined nipple contours, or herniation of glandular tissue around the areola, achieving an aesthetically pleasing nipple shape that effectively reduces the areolar size, minimizes recurrence, and remains sc…

[BACKGROUND] Pain is a prominent symptom following prosthetic breast augmentation by means of axillary incision, and persists throughout hospitalization. However, routine analgesia is not always effective for all patients. Duration of regio…

[INTRODUCTION] Although surgical site infection is one of the classic complications of breast reduction surgery, since 2024 the Société française d'anesthésie réanimation (SFAR) no longer recommends the administration of preoperative antibi…

[BACKGROUND] Superomedial pedicle breast reduction combined with a Wise pattern or vertical skin resection has become more popular recently. This review aimed to investigate the role of the type of skin resection that may alter the outcomes…

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 augmentation is a common aesthetic procedure, often performed alongside abdominal wall repairs such as rectus diastasis or umbilical hernias. Traditional incisions include inframammary, periareolar, axillary, and transum…

[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] Macromastia, particularly in its severe form-gigantomastia-is characterized by excessive mammary tissue growth and significantly impairs quality of life through physical symptoms, psychological distress and functional limitatio…

The pectoralis major myocutaneous (PMMC) flap remains a widely utilized reconstructive option for oral cavity cancers, especially where microvascular surgery may not be feasible. However, its application in female patients presents unique c…

Breast surgery for aesthetic purposes, such as breast augmentation or breast reduction, and breast reconstruction after cancer treatment require an accurate structural (anatomical) and mechanical (functional) understanding of the breast com…

[BACKGROUND] Skin-reducing mastectomy (SRM) represents a surgical option that provides patients with ptotic breasts the advantage of undergoing simultaneous nipple-preserving mastopexy in conjunction with mastectomy. Nonetheless, existing d…

[INTRODUCTION] Patients undergoing breast surgery are at risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but most literature examining thromboprophylaxis management in breast surgery focuses on free flap reconstruction. We evaluated thromboprophylaxi…

[BACKGROUND] Age-related physiological changes may influence surgical outcomes following breast reduction. This study investigates the association between patient age and postoperative complications using a large institutional cohort. [MET…
