[BACKGROUND] Long-term complications after breast implant surgery include seroma, implant rupture, implant rotation, capsular contraction, and breast implant-associated lymphoma. Implant-related complications become more frequent over time.…

[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Our findings indicate that the use of a lipodermal flap in one-stage pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction was associated with relatively complication and revision rates in this cohort. However, compli…

[BACKGROUND] Red breast syndrome (RBS) is a self-limited, non-infectious erythema historically linked to acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) in breast reconstruction. Recent reports suggest a declining incidence, potentially related to ADM adv…

Refinements in autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) enable personalized approaches to align with patient preferences. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap remains the primary choice due to its volume adequacy, but alternati…

[INTRODUCTION] Tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic agent, has demonstrated efficacy in reducing perioperative bleeding across multiple surgical interventions. While increasingly utilized in breast reconstruction, evidence regarding i…

Penile augmentation procedures are controversial, primarily because most men seeking these interventions have penile dimensions within the normal range, and due to the associated risks of severe complications. This narrative review explores…

[INTRODUCTION] The evolution of abdominal wall reconstruction has produced multiple effective techniques for hernia repair. Transversus abdominis release and preperitoneal repair allow for the placement of large mesh constructs. The outcome…

[BACKGROUND] The safety of the lipoabdominoplasty is always a matter of concern specially the perfusion of the abdominal skin. Several anatomical studies of the anterior abdominal wall investigated the vascular supply of the skin after abdo…

[BACKGROUND] Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) is characterized by a pathological widening of the linea alba, leading to impaired core stability, reduced trunk function, and compromised quality of life. Despite the widespread use of abdominop…

[BACKGROUND] Protein intake plays a critical role in postoperative recovery and wound healing, particularly in procedures such as abdominoplasty. While ERAS protocols emphasize nutritional optimization, evidence in non-bariatric patients un…

[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…

[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…

[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…

[INTRODUCTION] In ptotic breasts, patients can undergo breast reduction or mastopexy before nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) to improve the esthetic outcomes. Literature also suggests the benefit of staged nipple-sparing mastectomy (SNSM) on…

[BACKGROUND] Cosmetic tourism has become increasingly popular, with patients seeking lower cost cosmetic surgery overseas. However, complications often necessitate management in local public hospitals upon their return, placing a burden on …

[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] In body contouring surgery, high-definition liposuction appears to be an evolution of traditional liposuction. This study aimed to determine if broad liposuction of the deep layer (lamellar) and the preservation of the superfic…

[BACKGROUND] Forehead reduction surgery is increasingly performed to improve facial balance and harmony. Although generally considered safe, complication rates and outcomes have not been systematically quantified. [METHODS] A systematic re…

[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] 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…
