실리콘 보형물 Silicone Implant

[BACKGROUND] In this experimental study, the authors investigated whether fat placement in the pocket during implant insertion affects capsule formation. [METHODS] Twenty albino Wistar rats, 400 g each, were used. The rats were divided int…

Medical devices made from poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based silicone implants have been broadly used owing to their inert properties, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. However, long-term implantation is usually associated with complicat…

[BACKGROUND/AIM] The mechanisms underlying capsular contracture remain unclear. Emerging evidence supports the inflammation hypothesis, according to which bacteria from an adherent biofilm cause chronic inflammation and collagen deposition …

[BACKGROUND] Silicone implants are currently the most widely used artificial materials in plastic surgery. Capsule formation following implant application is unavoidable. When the capsule is excessively thick and strongly contracted, it can…

The latissimus dorsi (LD) flap is one of the most useful techniques for autologous breast reconstruction, especially in Asians. However, for reconstruction of moderate to large volume breasts, it is difficult to achieve the desirable volume…

[BACKGROUND] A combination of the reduction mammoplasty technique and breast reconstruction allows surgeons to lift ptotic breasts through local flaps and skin reduction during surgery for breast cancer. This study presents a reliable cours…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma associated with textured breast implants. The most common presentation is a periprosthetic seroma that occurs at least 1 year after an aesthetic o…

[PURPOSE] The need for customized implants has continuously increased, but patient-specific silicone implants are not yet commonly used in the plastic surgery market. We sought to validate the effectiveness of a 3D customized nasal implant …

Secondary cleft rhinoplasty typically requires large amounts of cartilage grafts for augmentation. The purpose of this study was to present our short-term experience with alloplastic implants in cleft rhinoplasty. This was a retrospective c…

[UNLABELLED] Breast implant insertion funnels have become popular adjuncts to breast implant surgery to reduce access incision length and contact of the implant with the skin of the breast. Although labeled as single-use devices, due to cos…

Injections are widely performed in the healthcare practice. Silicone has long been thought to be an inert and harmless material. Although used for decades in medical implants, including heart valves, breast implants, and as a tamponade for …

[BACKGROUND] The septal extension graft is one of the most commonly used grafts in Asian tip plasty techniques. However, the septal extension graft usually induces a hard and immobile nasal tip. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the…

Breast augmentations with silicone implants can have adverse effects on tissues that, in turn, lead to capsular contracture (CC). One of the potential ways of overcoming CC is to control the implant/host interaction using immunomodulatory a…

Cosmetic silicone implants for breast reconstruction often lead to medical complications, such as abnormally excessive fibrosis driven by foreign body granulomatous inflammation. The purpose of this study was to develop a silicone breast im…

[BACKGROUND] The capsular contracture is one of the main complications after radiotherapy in patients with implant-based reconstruction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ramipril for the prevention of radiation-induced f…

Advancement genioplasty is performed to aesthetically improve the lower third of the facial profile. Excessive chin advancement alone may lead to deepened labiomental sulcus and deformed aesthetic results. The purpose of this study was to a…

[BACKGROUND] Despite successful legislative efforts by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Plastic Surgery Political Action Committee remains underused. Participation in advocacy and financial contributions of ASPS members …

[BACKGROUND] Mastopexy combined with silicone implant placement is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgeries. Various techniques have been developed to increase the degree of patient satisfaction after surgery. The goal is to g…

[BACKGROUND] Simultaneous application of the axillary approach (AA) with the subfascial pocket (SF) has been proposed for breast augmentation (BA) surgery. New silicone implant technology and recent improvements in autologous fat grafting (…

A synthetic zwitterionic dopamine derivative (ZW-DOPA) containing both catechol and amine groups was recently shown to exhibit excellent antifouling activity on marine surfaces. Here, we have extended these analyses to investigate the effec…
