[BACKGROUND] Debate about the advantages and disadvantages of alloplastic vs autologous implant material for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty continues among the aesthetic surgery community. Silicone implants are criticized for high rates of…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most frequent reason for reoperation after implant-based breast surgery. Evaluate non-surgical treatment options for capsular contracture and to ascertain whether the long-term progression of capsula…

Cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare cause of symptomatic sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND). Silicone breast augmentation has been associated with various phenotypes of sarcoidosis, but not to our knowledge with cardiac involvement. We present a c…

Augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone implants is frequently performed in Asian populations. Nasal trauma in individuals with prior silicone-based augmentation may result in concurrent nasal bone and implant fractures, complicating managem…

This is a case report of a 75-year-old woman who simultaneously developed a firm tumour on the dorsum and apex of the nose. Swap for culture was negative. Punch biopsy from the dorsum and apex showed inflammation, but no foreign body reacti…

Silicone granulomatosis is a chronic inflammatory response induced by the introduction of silicone into soft tissue, typically occurring during cosmetic or reconstructive procedures. Despite its well-established association with silicone in…

Macrotextured silicone breast implants are associated with several complications, ranging from seromas and hematomas to the formation of a rare type of lymphoma, known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). …

Silicone breast implants elicit a foreign body response (FBR) defined by a complex cascade of various immune cells. Studies have shown that the capsule around silicone breast implants that forms as a result of the FBR contains large T cell …

Background Silicone breast implants are used in a variety of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures such as permanent implants or tissue expanders. As foreign biomaterials, they can potentially evocate either a local inflammatory reaction …

[BACKGROUND] The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends silicone breast implant rupture surveillance using MRI or ultrasound beginning at 5-6 years post-insertion and every 2-3 years thereafter. No surveillance guidelin…

[BACKGROUND] Fibromatosis of the breast, also known as desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF), is a rare tumor marked by the development of non-metastatic, locally aggressive tumors in breast tissue. It represents only 0.2% of all breast tumors. I…

Breast augmentation is the most prevalent aesthetic surgical procedure worldwide. While silicone breast implants have evolved in terms of safety and biocompatibility, they inevitably trigger a foreign body response (FBR). This complex proce…

[BACKGROUND] Silicone breast implant design has evolved over the last 50 years. Regulatory bodies including the FDA require data to support the modifications designed to improve the safety, efficacy, longevity, and biocompatibility of breas…

[BACKGROUND] There are few studies of Chinese patients who request silicone breast implant removal after at least 10 years of implantation without any complications. This study aimed to study the characteristics of these patients, explore t…

To answer the increased demand for augmentation rhinoplasty, particularly in Asian demographics, a shift from autogenous materials to synthetic implants like silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene has been witnessed. These materials …

When a delayed seroma with a low volume is detected more than 1 year after silicone breast implant insertion, aspiration is necessary. However, if the seroma is small and difficult to collect, we may avoid puncturing it, considering the ris…

[SUMMARY] In transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) with prefilled silicone implants, technical challenges remain to accommodate more implant options and dissection planes. The authors aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of TUBA using v…

[INTRODUCTION] There has been a rising trend in the use of silicone breast implants for breast reconstructions after breast cancer treatment, as well as in the aesthetic breast procedures. A cluster of non-specific symptoms related to the p…

[PURPOSE] Capsular contracture is a rare but serious complication of silicone implant-based augmentation rhinoplasty. When severe, the contracture can affect all layers of the nose, causing significant scarring and disfigurement. There is c…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare malignancy. Many cases of BIA-ALCL are identified based on the presence of late-onset effusion and/or masses. Importantly, the United States Food and…
