[BACKGROUND] Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) may cause adverse events in the reconstruction setting. Proton-based PMRT is increasingly utilized and has been shown to improve cardiac and pulmonary dosimetry. Data reporting the risk of ca…

[BACKGROUND] Advances in the manufacturing of breast implants through improved shell architecture, gel cohesivity, and surface topography may mitigate against post-operative complications following breast augmentation. [OBJECTIVES] The pre…

[BACKGROUND] The inframammary fold (IMF) plays a central role in breast augmentation surgery, yet its long-term positional stability following implant placement remains insufficiently characterized. Accurate prediction of IMF location is es…

[BACKGROUND] Multiple perforator deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps demonstrate superior perfusion. The selection of perforators is influenced by several factors, including the number of perforators, the running layer, the ped…

This article presents a comprehensive, anatomically precise approach to deep plane facelift surgery in male patients, a demographic with increasing interest in facial rejuvenation but historically underserved by techniques optimized for fem…

Several techniques for performing mastopexy and reduction mammaplasty have been reported; however, none has effectively maintained breast and upper pole projection. Silicone implants address these limitations but are associated with higher …

This article chronicles a 30 year evolution in breast augmentation, highlighting advances in implants, techniques, and anatomic understanding while reaffirming foundational surgical principles. It traces the transition from subglandular to …

The 3 components of a natural attractive breast are analyzed to understand the surgical techniques needed to provide natural results after breast augmentation. Hybrid gliding breast augmentation is proposed as a useful procedure to simultan…

Capsular contracture is the most frequent complication following breast augmentation, prompting many revision surgeries. Its prevention has evolved through precise surgical technique, antimicrobial measures, and the use of innovative materi…

[BACKGROUND] Submuscular augmentation mastopexy (AM) is often recommended to improve stability and reduce implant visibility despite the risk of breast animation. Objective systems to measure this outcome are restricted by a lack of quantit…

[BACKGROUND] Utilization of the subfascial plane in breast augmentation has many purported advantages. To further develop our understanding of the potential advantages of the subfascial augmentation technique a direct comparison to the ubiq…

[BACKGROUND] Long-term complications after breast implant surgery include seroma, implant rupture, implant rotation, capsular contraction, and breast implant-associated lymphoma. Implant-related complications become more frequent over time.…

[BACKGROUND] Implant pocket selection is a key determinant of safety and aesthetic outcomes in primary breast augmentation. Despite the widespread use of subglandular, subfascial, submuscular, and dual-plane techniques, no clear consensus e…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide to achieve a youthful and beautiful breast appearance. We describe a technique that preserves glandular tissue and muscle-gla…

[BACKGROUND] Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) is a key component of breast cancer care, reducing locoregional recurrence in appropriately selected patients. Concurrently, use of mastectomy with implant-based breast reconstruction has…

[AIM] To compare postoperative complications between prepectoral and subpectoral immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) in patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy. [METHODS] This systematic review and meta-analysis wer…

[BACKGROUND] Predicting postsurgical morphometric changes in breast augmentation remains challenging. A key alteration is the increase in nipple-to-inframammary crease (N-IMC) distance, which affects aesthetics. This study quantifies N-IMC …

[BACKGROUND] The opioid epidemic remains an issue in the United States. Multiple studies have demonstrated that prescription opiates are overprescribed following surgery, with evidence showing that more than 50% are not used. The opioid epi…

Subfascial placement has been reported to reduce capsular contracture (CC) in primary breast augmentation. Given the shift toward smooth implants, it is unclear whether the perceived advantage reflects the surgical plane or historical impla…
