Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of female mortality worldwide, and mastectomy is often required as a therapeutic or prophylactic measure. Breast reconstruction plays a key role in restoring body symmetry and quality of life.…

Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) are increasingly used for glycemic control and weight loss, but their impact on surgical wound complications remains unclear. Some studies suggest GLP-1s reduce complications suc…

[PURPOSE] Radiation therapy following implant-based reconstruction (IBR) is known to contribute to increased complication rates and aesthetic challenges, particularly breast asymmetry, which often necessitates additional revision procedures…

[UNLABELLED] Abdominoplasty is one of the most popular body contouring procedures. However, complications are common, particularly in post-bariatric patients, and surgical safety is a topic of growing interest. Among the significant steps, …

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is commonly used in implant-based breast reconstruction, but the optimal timing of ADM use in prepectoral two-stage reconstruction remains uncertain. [OBJECTIVES] We evaluated whether delaying ADM…

[BACKGROUND] Adjunct liposuction is routinely performed during reduction mammaplasty (RM) to improve lateral chest contour. However, its impact on complications across pedicle techniques and whether drains modify this risk remains unclear. …

Autologous breast reconstruction using donor-site flaps such as the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap, latissimus dorsi flap, profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap, and aut…

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with increasing incidence with age. However, surgeons are often hesitant to offer complex surgical reconstruction to the older patient population due to concerns about safety. A query of…

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether prolonged postoperative compression provides clinical benefit after abdominoplasty with rectus diastasis repair. One hundred twenty patients were randomized to wear a standardized class-II …

[PURPOSE] Pediatric spine surgery closure poses unique challenges owing to smaller body habitus, limited soft-tissue coverage, and high rates of congenital and neuromuscular deformities. Plastic surgeons are increasingly being consulted for…

[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the predominant reconstructive modality following mastectomy, accounting for more than 80% of all breast reconstruction procedures. Preventing subclinical infection at the time of i…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare lymphoma associated with textured implants. Earlier detection and timely implant/capsulectomy reduce morbidity and improve outcomes. CD30 is a sensit…

At our breast reconstruction center, we have, over time, developed a focused program to increase access to care for low-resource patients. This program includes outreach clinics, physician extenders, care coordinators, and telehealth utiliz…

[INTRODUCTION] Device manufacturers generally recommend using concordant tissue expanders (TE) and implants during staged implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR). In practice, discordant pairings may occur due to availability, patient or…

Post-bariatric abdominoplasty is associated with a high risk of bleeding and wound complications due to extensive tissue resection and impaired tissue quality. Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces perioperative bleeding in multiple surgical discip…

Abdominally based free flap breast reconstruction offers excellent long-term outcomes, but donor-site morbidity remains a concern. Lower back pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that may impair core stability and abdominal donor-s…

[BACKGROUND] Seroma is the most common complication after abdominoplasty, particularly when combined with liposuction. Multiple preventive strategies exist, but their relative effectiveness remains unclear. [OBJECTIVE] Using network meta-a…

[BACKGROUND] Facelifts are commonly associated with postoperative complications. The hemostatic net has emerged as a promising approach to reduce these events. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the hem…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic surgery tourism has increased rapidly, with growing numbers of UK patients returning with complications requiring NHS care. Limited regulation and inconsistent perioperative standards contribute to preventable harm. […

[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…
