[BACKGROUND] Multiple outcome studies have been published on the use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in breast reconstruction with disparate results. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to determi…

[BACKGROUND] Implants with a polyurethane foam cover have been used by plastic surgeons since Ashley described them in 1970. Overwhelming evidence confirms the benefits of these implants, especially the extremely low incidence of capsular c…

[BACKGROUND] Body contouring in the calf region is becoming a more frequently requested procedure. There are several techniques for calf enhancement, including implants, liposuction, and free flaps. Alloplastic augmentation can be performed…

[BACKGROUND] Breast cancer is the second mortality-related cancer and the leading cause of general mortality in women aged 40-55. Prophylactic mastectomy has proved to be effective in several clinical scenarios but is still a somewhat contr…

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrix is frequently used in implant-based breast reconstruction to cover the inferior aspect of the breast pocket. Its performance profile remains equivocal. The authors studied whether adding it in implant-ba…

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] Postmastectomy alloplastic breast reconstruction is a common procedure that continues to evolve. Increasingly, AlloDerm is being used in both direct-to-implant and two-stage breast reconstruction. The objective of this systemat…

[BACKGROUND] Buttock augmentation with solid silicone implants has become an increasingly popular procedure in the United States, but few outcomes studies have been undertaken to evaluate its safety and efficacy. [OBJECTIVE] The author exa…

[BACKGROUND] Acellular dermal matrix has been increasingly accepted in prosthetic breast reconstruction. Observed benefits include improved control and support of implant position, better implant coverage, and the suggestion of a decreased …

[BACKGROUND] The advent of skin- and nipple-sparing mastectomy in conjunction with the use of human acellular dermal matrix to provide lower pole coverage has made direct-to-implant immediate breast reconstruction following mastectomy feasi…

[BACKGROUND] Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has become increasingly popular as an effective treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer requiring mastectomy. This study aimed to evaluate t…

[BACKGROUND] Form-stable silicone gel breast implants represent the fifth generation of silicone gel augmentation devices. Additional crosslinking between the silicone molecules allows these implants to retain their shape, especially in the…

[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] In expander-based breast reconstruction, providing adequate tissue coverage of the prosthesis is necessary to prevent complications. The authors have previously described the use of the serratus anterior fascia for this purpose…

[BACKGROUND] Postmastectomy partial submuscular tissue expander placement can prevent the upper pole fullness commonly seen with complete submuscular prosthesis placement. The resultant inferior and lateral margins require coverage to preve…

[BACKGROUND] Silicone implants are often used in immediate breast reconstruction. Complications associated with silicone-based implant reconstruction, such as capsular contracture, implant palpability, and visibility, are best avoided by pl…

Silicone is a material commonly used in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, but capsular formation is a very frequent complication of silicone implants. This study aimed to investigate whether verapamil, a calcium-channel blocker, can red…

Augmentation mammaplasty is one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed. Early complications of the procedure are hematoma and infection, and late complications include capsular contracture and device failure or its displacement. …

Radiation has been considered a relative contraindication to prosthetic breast reconstruction. While this dogma has been challenged by recent reports, the data on radiation and immediate prosthetic reconstruction remain contradictory. We pe…
