[BACKGROUND] One-stage mastopexy with breast augmentation is an increasingly popular procedure among patients. In the past 9 years, there has been a 506 percent increase in mastopexy procedures alone. Although some recommend a staged mastop…

We report an unusual case of infection of a breast implant with Trichosporon spp. in an immunocompetent host. There has only been one other reported case in the published literature. The patient was a healthy 27-year-old woman who presented…

[BACKGROUND] Although some authors have reported that 1-stage breast augmentation with mastopexy does not increase the risks of surgery, recent literature has raised the question of whether better results might be achieved by staging the pr…

[OBJECTIVE] The study was carried out through summarizing and comparing the percentages of long-term complications of four types breast implants, and analyzing the cause of complications. [METHODS] The study reviewed 573 patients with brea…

Patients requesting nipple or areolar reduction often desire simultaneous breast augmentation. A technique is described for implant placement by means of a nipple base incision with either nipple reduction or intraareolar reduction. Nipple …

Traditional breast conservation therapy consists of lumpectomy and whole-breast irradiation. Local recurrence after breast conservation is usually managed with salvage mastectomy. Skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate autologous tissue reco…

We describe a technique for the correction of ptotic and hypoplastic breasts that combines the vertical scar technique with the insertion of a subpectoral saline implant. This operation consists of a vertical elliptical skin incision throug…

In Taiwan, there have quite often been incidences when patients have had more abundant abdominal tissue to make a TRAM flap with a volume larger than the contralateral breast. In these situations, we usually recommend performing contralater…

Breast symmetry is one of the most important parameters of patient satisfaction in breast reconstruction. We undertook this retrospective study to determine whether autologous reconstruction requires opposite-breast procedures less often to…

Breast augmentation is a procedure that can be performed successfully in many different ways. Large series are reported routinely, with greater than 95% patient satisfaction. It is clear that this is a procedure that has greatly benefited w…

The reduced-height anatomic saline-filled implant has certain advantages. It has a distinct footprint and profile that allows the creation of a breast with relatively exaggerated width and abbreviated height. This creation suits certain ana…

Breast conservation has been associated with poor cosmetic outcome when used to treat breast cancer in patients who have undergone prior augmentation mammaplasty. Radiation therapy of the augmented breast can increase breast fibrosis and ca…

A follow up study that compared the results from two plastic surgical centres comprised 95 patients after breast reconstruction with the lateral thoracodorsal (LTD) flap combined with either a smooth or textured saline-filled implant. It wa…

A retrospective study of 220 patients was performed to review surgical design in breast augmentation. Three specific issues were studied: incision site, implant variables, and pocket plane selection. The influence of these three factors on …

The silicone breast implant controversy rages on. Recent work has demonstrated that normal or baseline breast tissue silicon levels in women who had had no prior exposure to any type of breast implant may be as high as 446 microg/gm of tiss…

A prospective outcome analysis was conducted on 100 consecutive women who requested explantation of their silicone gel breast implants from January 6, 1992 (the moratorium), through 1995. Eighteen patients were referred by rheumatologists w…

This report describes a case of gross contamination with the filamentous fungus P. variotii cultured from an intraluminal saline breast implant removed from a patient 14 months after implantation because of severe capsular contracture. We s…

Several studies indicate that mammographic evaluation of the breast is inhibited by both submammary and submuscular implants, regardless of implant composition. Two hundred radiographs were evaluated following subpectoral placement of 25 co…

At the time of immediate breast reconstruction with submuscular implants, 76 consecutive patients (89 breasts) were randomized into two groups. One received a gel-saline, double-lumen implant with 40 cc of saline added to the outer lumen, w…

A major problem after breast reconstruction with augmentation mammaplasty is contracture of the fibrous capsule around the prosthesis. In a series of 72 breasts in 65 women, silicone-gel and saline-filled implants were randomly selected pri…
