[BACKGROUND] Preoperative signs and symptoms of patients with Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants could be predictive of device failure. Based on clinical observation and intraoperative findings 4 hypotheses were raised: (1) Preoperative c…

[BACKGROUND] Use of the thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap in combination with alloplastic devices has been proven to be a safe method of breast reconstruction. However, preoperative irradiation increases the complication rate and …

[BACKGROUND] With the reintroduction of shaped silicone gel implants in the United States, questions regarding indications and outcomes for each are likely. The purpose of this article is to review the author's early experience using shaped…

[BACKGROUND] Small-volume breast asymmetry is a challenging problem. In 2008, an intra-operative volume-adjustable breast implant, consisting of a round textured implant with an outer chamber filled with cohesive silicone gel and inner cham…

[INTRODUCTION] Immediate small breast reconstruction poses challenges including limited potential donor site tissues, a thinner skin envelope, and limited implant choice. Few patients are suitable for autologous reconstruction while contral…

Studies of complications following reconstructive surgery with implants among women with breast cancer are needed. As the, to our knowledge, first prospective long-term study we evaluated the occurrence of complications following delayed br…

[BACKGROUND] Tuberous breast deformity is a developmental aberration of the breast whereby a constricting ring on the base of the breast prevents its expansion on the horizontal and/or the vertical axis. This leads to the well-known "tubero…

[INTRODUCTION] Round expander-implants (Beckers 25 and 50) and anatomical expander-prostheses filled with firm cohesive gel (McGhan Style 150) are established choices for single-stage expander breast reconstruction. Because of their drawbac…

[BACKGROUND] Body-contouring implants are becoming increasingly popular and more accepted and requested for aesthetic purposes. These implants must be placed in a safe and reproducible plane of anatomic dissection for a successful long-term…

The long cosmetic outcome of breast implant reconstruction is unknown. The morbidity and cosmetic outcome of 360 patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction with various types of implant has been prospectively analysed over a 10-…

[BACKGROUND] The history of gluteoplasty augmentation includes only a few reported clinical series. [OBJECTIVE] We report our experience in performing gluteal augmentation using an intramuscular technique in 160 cases over 15 years. We als…

The utility of mammary prosthesis texturing in the prevention of capsular contracture was established some 20 years ago. Various models of implant texturing are currently on the market. We decided to study two of the most popular implants w…

The long-term cosmetic outcome of breast implant reconstruction is unknown. The morbidity and cosmetic outcome of 360 patients who underwent immediate postmastectomy breast reconstruction with various types of implants have been analyzed pr…

The efficacy of breast prosthesis texturing in the prevention of capsular contracture has been established for about 20 years. This successful procedure has led to the development and marketing of a number of different models. In the presen…

The use of an expander/implant for augmentation mammaplasty allows for increased patient satisfaction in the postoperative period. Surgical time may be shortened as final volume determination is not an intraoperative concern, and secondary …

Despite numerous studies advocating ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of women with possible silicone breast implant rupture, an appropriate algorithm has not been published for the optimal use of these …
