: Variability and low volume yield in breast aesthetic outcomes utilizing fat grafting promoted a search for surgical technique improvement. : Using evidence-based information to optimize a surgical technique for aesthetic breast augmentati…

To improve patient outcomes amid reduced healthcare resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, a single Canadian cancer center implemented an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for autologous DIEP flap breast reconstruction. This…

[INTRODUCTION] Abdominal-based free tissue transfers, such as the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap, are widely utilized in autologous breast reconstruction. These procedures are often complicated by wound healing issues at th…

The formation of extradural dead space in cranial reconstruction increases the risk of seroma, hematoma, and abscess formation, necessitating complex procedures such as free flap reconstruction. This study presents a novel approach combinin…

[BACKGROUND] Several studies have discussed the safety and effectiveness of the hemostatic net after facelift surgery. However, fearful of having to deal with a hematoma or seroma following the surgery, many surgeons opt to leave surgical d…

[BACKGROUND] Gynecomastia, affecting around 30% of young males, has seen evolving surgical treatments, transitioning from traditional excision methods to contemporary techniques like liposuction. Emotional distress persists when glandular t…

[INTRODUCTION] Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by male breast enlargement, which can have a profound psychological impact on affected individuals. Surgical intervention is often sought to alleviate these concerns. This stud…

[BACKGROUND] The superolateral pedicle (SLP) is commonly used in our practice in breast reductions (BR) where the nipple-areola complex is too medial, restricting pedicle movement and positioning. This study demonstrates the safety and effi…

[BACKGROUND] Gender-affirming breast augmentation (GABA) with implants is most commonly compared with cosmetic breast augmentation. A better comparator is tuberous breast augmentation (TBA). Anatomically, both feature relative medial pole d…

[BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has affected more than 1700 women with textured breast implants. About 80% of patients present with fluid (seroma) around their implant. BIA-ALCL can…

[PURPOSE] Patients with obesity and a large pannus may benefit from the simultaneous performance of panniculectomy and ventral hernia repair. However, the literature reports conflicting results regarding an increased risk of surgical site e…

Patients with large or ptotic breasts undergoing nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) face reconstructive challenges, including higher risks of complications and suboptimal aesthetic outcomes. Preshaping procedures, such as mastopexy or reductio…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare CD-30+/ALK- T-cell lymphoma. The combination of a textured breast implant, bacterial contamination and genetic predisposition appears to be necessary for the deve…

[BACKGROUND] Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been shown to facilitate complex wound closure, decrease healing complications, and improve scar quality. Recently, its application in closed incision wound healing has been studied. A…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, representing less than 1% of breast neoplasms. Despite its low incidence, the increasing number of women with breast implants necessi…

: Breast implants are widely used in reconstructive surgeries, as well as in cosmetic procedures, to enhance or restore breast shape and volume. With advances in techniques and materials, these devices have become safer and more effective o…

[BACKGROUND] Although not routinely advocated for average-risk patients, contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is recommended by current guidelines to reduce mortality in high-risk patients with unilateral breast cancer. This systemat…

[BACKGROUND]  Autoimmune diseases are associated with characteristic chronic inflammation, aberrations in tissue perfusion, and hypercoagulability, and thus have considerable implications for local and free-flap reconstruction. We seek to s…

[BACKGROUND] Patients with or at risk for breast cancer may opt for risk-reducing gynecologic surgeries, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies and/or total abdominal hysterectomy. The timing and safety of combining these procedures wi…

[INTRODUCTION] Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is one of the most common aesthetic surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons. The goal around finding the ideal facelift revolves around cosmetic outcome, ability to maintain lon…
