An in vivo histopathological comparison of single and double pulsed modes of a fractionated CO(2) laser.
[INTRODUCTION] Studies examining the histopathological changes that occur in human skin following fractional laser treatment have been performed mainly in animals or abdominal tissue prior to abdominoplasty. This study looks at the effect o…

Effects of fibrin, thrombin, and blood on breast capsule formation in a preclinical model.
[BACKGROUND] The root cause of capsular contracture (CC) associated with breast implants is unknown. Recent evidence points to the possible role of fibrin and bacteria in CC formation. [OBJECTIVES] The authors sought to determine whether f…

Animal model of implant capsular contracture: effects of chitosan.
[BACKGROUND] The mechanism(s) responsible for breast capsular contracture (CC) remain unknown, but inflammatory pathways play a role. Various molecules have been attached to implant shells in the hope of modifying or preventing CC. The intr…

Effects of coagulase-negative staphylococci and fibrin on breast capsule formation in a rabbit model.
[BACKGROUND] The etiology and ideal clinical treatment of capsular contracture (CC) remain unresolved. Bacteria, especially coagulase-negative staphylococci, have been previously shown to accelerate the onset of CC. The role of fibrin in ca…

Long-term follow-up of breast capsule contracture rates in cosmetic and reconstructive cases.
[BACKGROUND] Silicone gel breast implants are associated with long-term adverse events, including capsular contracture, with reported incidence rates as high as 50 percent. However, it is not clear how long the follow-up period should be an…

In vivo histopathologic comparison of the acute injury following treatment with five fractional ablative laser devices.
[BACKGROUND] Both erbium (Er:YAG) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) devices are commonly-used, efficient laser systems for aggressive skin resurfacing procedures. The devices each have different adjustable parameters (density, spot size, number of…
-
TUNEL assay to characterize acute histopathological injury following treatment with the active and deep FX fractional short-pulse CO2 devices.
[BACKGROUND] This is a report of the histopathological evaluation of the acute damage profile in human skin following treatment with two novel short-pulsed fractional carbon dioxide resurfacing devices used independently and in combination …

The individualized component face lift: developing a systematic approach to facial rejuvenation.
[BACKGROUND] Accurate preoperative planning combined with facial fat compartment augmentation can improve precision and balance in facial rejuvenation techniques. Understanding the concept of "facial shaping" with respect to symmetry and so…

Micro-island damage with a nonablative 1540-nm Er:Glass fractional laser device in human skin.
[BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES] Fractional photothermolysis produces micro-islands of thermal injury to the skin while preserving areas among treated tissue sites in order to promote wound healing. Histological changes associated with single an…

Arterial and venous anatomies of the deep inferior epigastric perforator and superficial inferior epigastric artery flaps.
[BACKGROUND] This study uses three- and four-dimensional computed tomographic angiography and venography to evaluate the microvascular anatomy and perfusion of the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) and superficial inferior e…

Thromboembolic risk assessment and the efficacy of enoxaparin prophylaxis in excisional body contouring surgery.
[BACKGROUND] There is a paucity of evidence within the plastic surgery literature concerning risk stratification and management of patients with respect to thromboembolic disease. A retrospective chart review was conducted to examine whethe…
-
TUNEL assay for histopathologic evaluation of irreversible chromosomal damage following nonablative fractional photothermolysis.
[BACKGROUND] Fractional photothermolysis is extremely popular in skin rejuvenation and remodeling procedures. However, the extent of thermal cellular injury beyond the borders of the coagulated microcolumns produced with fractional photothe…
-
Quantification of the osmotic expansion in implants filled with polyethylene glycol.
High reoperation rates continue to agonize the field of breast augmentation surgery. Patient dissatisfaction is a contributing factor for reoperations. This is often attributable to patients' desire to be larger after the augmentation. Poly…

Deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis practice and treatment strategies among plastic surgeons: survey results.
[BACKGROUND] Deep vein thrombosis is a known serious complication of surgical procedures and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Plastic surgeons' management of the risk of deep vein thrombosis and current information regarding …

A rabbit model for capsular contracture: development and clinical implications.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture remains one of the most common complications involving aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery; however, its cause, prevention, and treatment remain to be fully elucidated. Presently, there is no accura…

Platelet gel sealant use in rhytidectomy.
[BACKGROUND] A prospective study was used to evaluate the efficacy of a commercially available platelet gel product as a sealant to decrease postsurgical drain fluid rates and volumes in patients who have undergone rhytidectomy procedures. …

Is the umbilicus truly midline? Clinical and medicolegal implications.
A common misconception is that the umbilicus is a midline structure. To date, an anatomical survey examining whether the umbilicus is located at the midline has not been reported. This study measured the position of the umbilicus among 136 …

Breast reconstruction using modified tissue expansion.
Inadequate chest-wall skin following mastectomy for carcinoma continues to be a problem in many breast reconstructions. To avoid extensive surgery, serial tissue expansion has been advocated. Since 1977, one of the authors has used a simple…
