[PURPOSE] Massive weight loss after bariatric surgery is often associated with alterations in breast morphology, including ptosis, excess skin, poor tissue elasticity, and altered nipple position, which frequently motivate requests for brea…

[BACKGROUND] The demand for gluteal augmentation has risen significantly over the past decade. While both implants and autologous fat grafting are commonly used, each technique carries limitations. This study evaluates our outcomes followin…

[BACKGROUND] Radiation therapy (RT) significantly increases the risk of capsular contracture after implant-based breast reconstruction. However, the relationship between anatomic plane placement (eg, submuscular or prepectoral) and the deve…

[BACKGROUND] Whether texturing confers clinical advantages over smooth breast implants remains questionable, especially in the wake of breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma concerns with textured implants. [OBJECTIVES] T…

Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is widely used in implant-based breast reconstruction for implant stabilization, soft-tissue augmentation, and reduced capsular contracture, although its use in this setting remains off-label. Conventional appr…

Augmentation mastopexy is one of the most complex operations in aesthetic surgery, with revision rates as high as 40%. When native breast volume is insufficient, an implant is often needed to achieve long-term upper-pole fullness, which res…

Breast augmentation is among the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures worldwide. Although postoperative infections are uncommon, breast implant-associated infections can be severe and challenging to treat. Nipple piercings, increa…

[BACKGROUND] Immediate prepectoral breast reconstruction has emerged as a prominent alternative to subpectoral techniques, offering favorable outcomes in selected patients. Among available options, implant coverage with acellular dermal mat…

Recently, preservation approaches such as cytoprotective agents injection, ex vivo machine perfusion, and supercooling have emerged as strategies to enhance long-term preservation of both standard and marginal organs by mitigating ischemic …

[BACKGROUND] Advancements in surgical techniques and materials have increased the use of direct-to-implant breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, the optimal implant placement remains debated, with limited prospective studies comp…

[BACKGROUND] Gluteal augmentation is a widely performed aesthetic procedure, with implants providing a reliable alternative for patients with insufficient donor fat or those seeking a more pronounced and predictable volume enhancement. Howe…

[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains a significant complication in implant-based breast reconstruction, particularly in the context of prepectoral direct-to-implant (DTI) techniques. The advent of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) has e…

[BACKGROUND] Buttock augmentation is increasingly popular in body contouring but remains controversial within the surgical community, partly due to limited larger scale studies on cohesive gel buttock implants, in contrast to the extensive …

[BACKGROUND] Despite advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques, achieving long-term implant stability in breast augmentation remains challenging, particularly in cases where enhanced soft tissue support is required. [OBJEC…

We present a case of a 30-year-old female patient requiring correction of post-surgical synmastia after stepwise treatment of pectus excavatum (funnel chest) and breast asymmetry (right < left). The funnel chest was first corrected with a 3…

[BACKGROUND] Patients who underwent breast reconstruction with submuscular implants frequently experience animation deformity (AD), pain, and cosmetic issues, warranting consideration of implant removal, exchange, pocket change, or autologo…

Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) following total mastectomy is now an established surgical approach that combines oncological safety with aesthetic benefits. This review discusses indications, techniques, and surgical adaptations of IB…

Capsular contracture remains one of the most challenging complications of implant-based breast reconstruction, particularly in patients undergoing postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT). Autologous fat grafting has been proposed as a regenerati…

Implant-based reconstruction is the main post-mastectomy reconstructive method. With the introduction of acellular dermal matrices (ADM), direct-to-implant reconstruction has, in selected patients, replaced dual-stage technique with tissue …
