유방성형술 Mammoplasty

[INTRODUCTION] Gigantomastia causes physical, psychological, and dermatological issues, often with ptosis; reduction mammoplasty effectively relieves symptoms but carries minor (self-limiting or medically managed) and major (surgically requ…

Current trends in cosmetic breast surgery have shifted toward more balanced and natural-appearing aesthetic enhancements. Surgical planning for these procedures requires a nuanced understanding of patient goals, anatomy, implant selection, …

[BACKGROUND] Sensory loss following reduction mammaplasty remains a key concern for patients. While general tactile recovery has been well studied, less is known about temperature sensation or region-specific recovery patterns. This study e…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide to achieve a youthful and beautiful breast appearance. We describe a technique that preserves glandular tissue and muscle-gla…

[INTRODUCTION] Breast surgery, regardless of the type of procedure, requires a symmetrical result. However, this outcome is currently dependent on the surgeon's experience and subject to their subjectivity. Our study aims to investigate the…

[BACKGROUND] Reduction mammaplasty is a common surgical procedure in France. Even if the French surgeons were pioneers in this surgery's development, we ignored French plastics surgeons' practices in this domain at this time. The aim of thi…

[BACKGROUND] Breast surgery often compromises structures, potentially leading to complications that affect aesthetic outcomes, lactation, breast tissue health, and the patient experience. Tissue-Preserving Breast Augmentation (TPBA) is a no…

[BACKGROUND] Erector spinae plane block (ESP) is inevitably effective in posterior thoracic surgeries, but its efficacy and safety in anterior thoracic surgeries—particularly bilateral surgeries—remain in dispute. This study aimed to evalua…

[INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE] Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare condition caused by dermal inflammation with neutrophilic infiltration, often associated with an underlying systemic disease. The breast is an uncommon site for this conditio…

[BACKGROUND] Dual-plane breast augmentation has traditionally been the standard approach in aesthetic breast surgery, while prepectoral placement was reserved for selected anatomical indications. Advances in implant technology and growing c…

[BACKGROUND] Silicone implant rupture is a common complication of breast augmentation, with silicone axillary lymphadenopathy (SAL) a recognized sequela. [OBJECTIVES] To evaluate SAL associated with surgically confirmed rupture of fourth-g…

[BACKGROUND] Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remain a significant consideration in perioperative care; however, the incidence and risk factors of PONV in transgender patients are poorly understood. This study investigated the rates…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation (BA) is one of the most commonly performed plastic procedures worldwide. The transaxillary approach (TAA) has gained popularity for avoiding visible breast scars. Despite its increasing adoption in the clini…

[BACKGROUND] Predicting postsurgical morphometric changes in breast augmentation remains challenging. A key alteration is the increase in nipple-to-inframammary crease (N-IMC) distance, which affects aesthetics. This study quantifies N-IMC …

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation with implants is commonly performed among East Asian patients, but few studies have analyzed how breast morphology changes postoperatively. This study evaluated these changes in this population. [METHODS] T…

[BACKGROUND] Mastopexy with implants is a procedure designed to restore breast shape and volume, often diminished by aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. This study evaluates the aesthetic effectiveness and safety of the total prosthet…
