[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…

[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…

[BACKGROUND] The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and postoperative morbidity in breast augmentation remains poorly defined. This gap limits evidence-based decision-making amid rising BMI trends. Our study aims to establish a BMI-…

Observational studies have suggested associations between neuroticism and the tendency to undergo cosmetic mammoplasty, but their causal relationships remain unclear. Our study aimed to assess the causal associations between neuroticism and…

[OBJECTIVE] This study aims to evaluate the preoperative awareness of Chinese women with macromastia regarding their breast condition, explore the impact of macromastia on their physical and psychological health, and understand their needs …
