[BACKGROUND] Complicated silicone nose is a common clinical problem. Selection of replacement material for revision dorsal augmentation is a challenging task. [OBJECTIVES] The authors presented their experience in the use of molded glued d…

[BACKGROUND] This study was performed to evaluate the hypothesis that capsule formation varies according to the radiation dose in muscle tissues; chest wall tissues, including the ribs; and acellular dermal matrices (ADM) that are in contac…

[BACKGROUND] The body responds to prosthetic materials with an inflammatory foreign body response and deposition of a fibrous capsule, which may be deleterious to the function of the device and cause significant discomfort for the patient. …

[BACKGROUND] The Ideal Implant structured breast implant uses different technology than unstructured saline or silicone gel implants, making it a third type of implant. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada granted appro…

Silicone breast implants are frequently used for breast augmentation for cosmetic purposes, as well as for breast reconstruction after prophylactic or therapeutic mastectomy. Silicone lymphadenopathy is a well-known complication of silicone…

Silicone breast implant insertion is a commonly performed surgical procedure for breast augmentation or reconstruction. Among various postoperative complications, infection is one of the main causes of patient readmission and may ultimately…

[PURPOSE] Three-dimensional (3D) scanning-based morphologic analyses of facial structures are becoming more popular in several clinical settings. However, the application has not yet been reported in augmentation rhinoplasty. The purpose of…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery operations performed worldwide. Complications of breast implants are well recognized, and include capsular contracture, implant rupture, and infreque…

[INTRODUCTION] In esthetic surgery, the use of silicone implants is a topic of hot discussion. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] An analysis of 119 esthetic surgical interventions on the mammary gland was performed. A study of the immune and endocrin…

[UNLABELLED] Two-stage alloplastic breast reconstruction in patients having received mastectomy and radiation is associated with a high rate of complications. Fat grafting has been shown to mitigate the effects of radiation on the chest wal…

[BACKGROUND] Silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty along with various tip plasties are commonly performed in Asian patients, but a revision rhinoplasty is frequently required because of various problems. Secondary rhinoplasties are ofte…

Transumbilical silicone breast augmentation (TUSBA) is a fairly new and rapidly growing technique of endoscopically assisted placement of silicone breast implants. In comparison, the well-known transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) with…

Silicone elastomer medical implants are ubiquitous in medicine, particularly for breast augmentation. However, when these devices are placed within the body, disruption of the natural biological interfaces occurs, which significantly change…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a critical complication of silicone implantation caused by fibrotic tissue formation from excessive foreign body responses. Various approaches have been applied, but targeting the mechanisms of capsule f…

Breast implant associated-anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has become a hot topic in recent plastic surgery and oncology forum. Its cases have been on the rise since its first emergence more than two decades ago. This condition is …

Textured silicone breast implants with high average surface roughness ("macrotextured") have been associated with a rare cancer of the immune system, Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Silicone elastomer we…

[INTRODUCTION] Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for a number of debilitating neurological diseases. However, the placement of an implantable pulse generator (IPG) can lead to significant cosmetic concerns for some pati…

[UNLABELLED] Implant covering with an interface material is the standard in prepectoral breast reconstruction. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is frequently used, but it is expensive and associated with complications. Alternatively, we have b…

This case study highlights the rare complications of silicone breast implants, as well as the diagnostic limitations of imaging. The patient initially presented with leakage of bilateral breast implants as discovered by a positron emission …

[BACKGROUND] Silicone breast implants with smooth outer shells are associated with higher rates of capsular contracture, whereas textured implants have been linked to the development of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lympho…
