실리콘 보형물 Silicone Implant

For asymptomatic patients with saline implants, no imaging is recommended. If there is suspected saline implant rupture, ultrasound is usually appropriate, though saline implant rupture is often clinically evident. For asymptomatic patients…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a challenging entity to treat with consistent success. Recently, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has been shown to be a highly effective therapeutic adjunct, particularly for patients at high risk for recu…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a common complication of implant-based breast reconstructive surgery and is especially challenging in the setting of post-mastectomy radiation. The objective of this study was two-fold; first to develop …

Capsular contracture (CC) is the most frequent complication associated with silicone-based breast implant surgery and often leads to multiple revision surgeries. The implantation of a foreign object triggers the formation of a fibrous capsu…

The durability of silicone breast implants is critical for successful aesthetic and reconstructive outcomes. Intraoperative breast pocket irrigation is routinely performed to reduce infection and capsular contracture, but the effect of comm…

Silicone chin implants have been widely used is plastic and esthetic surgery of the face being considered as safe and efficient way for chin augmentation. However, complications such as bone resorption, displacement or ectopic bone formatio…

[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] Capsule contracture (CC) is a significant complication of silicone implant use. It leads to patient dissatisfaction and reoperations following aesthetic breast augmentation and reconstruction. Prolonged inflammation and abnorma…

Breast augmentation using a silicone implant is a popular procedure. However, there are rare complications being reported in addition to common risks following breast implant insertion. Our aim is to report one of the rare complications, mi…

Total nipple-areola necrosis following breast reduction is a rare and unfortunate event. Several causes may be responsible for it, including compression of the vascular pedicle, venous congestion, infection, hematoma, or inappropriate surgi…

This case report describes an unexpected intraoperative discovery during secondary revision surgery for residual unilateral cleft lip deformity in an 18-year-old female. Despite a consistent patient history of a prior "autologous costal car…

[BACKGROUND] Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is actively applied in rhinoplasty procedures. The use of 3D-printed silicone implants facilitates success in surgery, even when the surgeon lacks experience. However, in some cases, d…

Silicone implants are widely used in medical applications, particularly for breast augmentation and reconstruction. However, ongoing concerns regarding their long-term safety and biocompatibility necessitate comprehensive characterization. …

[INTRODUCTION] Identifying the type of existing nasal implant is crucial for preoperative planning of revision rhinoplasty in patients with secondary cleft lip nasal deformity. However, patients often lack accurate information. Although Hou…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a major complication of breast reconstruction with silicone implants, affecting patients' quality of life due to pain and esthetic concerns. Capsular contracture is considered to result from an excessive…

Silicone implants are commonly used alloplastic materials for rhinoplasty in Asia, as they are easy to manipulate, provide adequate volume augmentation, and exhibit excellent biocompatibility. However, they are associated with complications…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) is one of the most common complications in augmentation mammaplasty with breast implant, but its etiology remains uncertain. We aimed to apply the 2bRAD-M technique to characterize the microbiome diffe…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture leads to undesirable outcomes when using breast prostheses. Although implant characteristics and surgical techniques have been studied extensively, the impact of suture materials on capsule formation remain…

Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is defined as an allograft composed of sterile, decellularized, regenerative dermal tissue matrix for soft tissue reconstructive and transplantation purposes. The epidermal layer is removed from the dermal laye…

Hybrid deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap and simultaneous silicone implant breast reconstruction procedures ("DIEP + I") have many conceptual advantages compared with either reconstruction method alone, but the outcomes of DIE…
