실리콘 보형물 Silicone Implant

Background With the use of nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) techniques, utilizing a prepectoral underfilled adjustable saline implant allows for tissue contraction and thickening of the flap. This procedure …

What is the incidence of gunshot injuries involving breast implants?What are the considerations for managing a patient with a gunshot wound to a breast implant?Can a breast implant alter the trajectory of a bullet to the chest?What are the …

[BACKGROUND] Traditional silicone implants used in augmentation rhinoplasty lead to postoperative complications. [OBJECTIVES] To introduce a novel silicone implant designed to reduce postoperative complications. [METHODS] The author desig…

Augmentation rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose using implanted material. In the 1980s, nasal implantology began to favor silicone over traditional autologous grafts because the synthetic material presented exciting benefits. However…

Silicone breast implants are commonly used for cosmetic and oncologic surgical indications owing to their inertness and being nontoxic. However, complications including capsular contracture and anaplastic large cell lymphoma have been assoc…

Breast reconstruction surgery with tissue expanders and silicone implants is widely performed; however, risk factors for late complications such as capsular contracture have not been fully investigated despite their high prevalence. We inve…

To achieve an esthetically satisfying surgical outcome in rhinoplasty of East Asians, it is most important to emphasize the augmentation of the flattened nose. However, correction of the accompanying nasal deviation or hump reduction togeth…

Capsular contracture as a result of the foreign body response (FBR) is a common issue after implant-based breast reconstruction, affecting up to 20% of patients. New evidence suggests that tamoxifen may mitigate the FBR. C57BL/6 female mice…

Desmoid tumors of the breast are rare, comprising 0.2% of all breast tumors. They may be locally invasive but do not metastasize. The etiology is multifactorial including surgical trauma in the setting of prior cosmetic augmentation breast …

Background Breast augmentation with silicone implants is commonplace, and such implants have a risk of rupture which increases over time. Most implant ruptures are asymptomatic, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a recommended imaging …

Rhinoplasty via a closed approach is rarely performed due to provide limited exposure and inadequate operative field. Nevertheless, there are some cases in which closed approach is performed using L-shaped silicone implants. The authors rec…

[BACKGROUND] Bacterial biofilm can occur on all medical implanted devices and lead to infection and/or dysfunction of the device. In this study, artificial biofilm was formed on four different medical implants (silicone, piccline, periphera…

Recently, there has been an increase in surgeries to treat silicones implant complications. These procedures are generally related to diseased fibrous capsules, with capsular contracture the most common clinical manifestation. However, pati…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture (CC) characterized by excessive fibrosis is one of the most common complications after silicone implant surgery. Verteporfin (VP), an inhibitor of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), has recently been found to…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a CD30-positive, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative T-cell lymphoma. Where implant history is known, all confirmed cases to date have occurred in patients with exposure…

[BACKGROUND] Reoperative augmentation mammoplasty (RAM) is a challenging procedure, with the highest rates of complications and revision. Complications include implant malposition, lateral displacement, bottoming out, and rotation. These de…

[BACKGROUND] As the most principal complication following breast augmentation with silicone breast implants, capsular contracture is greatly influenced by surface texture. However, there have long been widespread debates on the function of …

A 40-year-old woman with silicone implants inserted 21 years before presented with sudden onset of painful right breast swelling. Clinical examination revealed a firm swollen breast with appearance of old bruising. Ultrasound showed fluid a…

Currently, robot-assisted latissimus dorsi muscle flap (RLDF) surgery is used in treating patients with Poland syndrome and for breast reconstruction. However, conventional RLDF surgery has several inherent issues. We resolved the existing …

We described a breast papillary lesion related to silicone breast implant exposure. The case report is in accordance with our initial publication, where we proposed that silicone particles may trigger a process of reverse morphogenesis in p…
