Silicone breast implant-associated pathologies and T cell-mediated responses.
Silicone breast implants elicit a foreign body response (FBR) defined by a complex cascade of various immune cells. Studies have shown that the capsule around silicone breast implants that forms as a result of the FBR contains large T cell …

Breast Implants Elicit Local and Systemic Immune Response: Evidence for Breast Cancer Immunosurveillance.
[BACKGROUND] Women with cosmetic implants have lower rates of future breast cancer than the general population. The authors hypothesized that the implant foreign body response could induce a local protective anticancer immunosurveillance. T…

Evaluation of Major Complications Following Ruptured Implant Removal: A National Surgery Quality Improvement Program Database Analysis.
[BACKGROUND] After the removal of ruptured breast implants, patients may elect to replace or not replace ruptured implants. They also may elect to undergo mastopexy alone without replacement of breast implants to maintain a more aesthetic s…

Breast Implant Silicones and B Cell-Mediated Immune Responses: A Systematic Review of Literature.
[INTRODUCTION] Breast implants are under recent scrutiny owing to concerns about their potential for inducing immunological diseases, namely breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma and breast implant illness. However, the i…

Revision Breast Reconstruction With Biologic or Synthetic Mesh: An Analysis of Postoperative Capsular Contracture Rates.
[BACKGROUND] Both biologic and synthetic mesh have been found to reduce the risk of capsular contracture, yet there is limited data assessing the use of these scaffold materials in revision breast reconstruction. [OBJECTIVES] This investig…

A Comparison of Capsular Contracture Rates after Immediate Implant-based Breast Reconstruction Using Biologic versus Synthetic Mesh.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is one of the most common reasons for reoperation after implant-based breast reconstruction. Prior investigations have suggested that biologic mesh may mitigate capsular contracture development. This study …

Early Experience with Mesh Suture for DIEP Flap Abdominal Site Closures.
[BACKGROUND] The gold standard of microsurgical breast reconstruction is the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) free flap. As techniques have evolved, DIEP flaps have significantly reduced the morbidity previously caused by transver…

Can Breast Implants Induce Breast Cancer Immunosurveillance? An Analysis of Antibody Response to Breast Cancer Antigen following Implant Placement.
[BACKGROUND] Women with cosmetic breast implants have significantly lower rates of subsequent breast cancer than the general population (relative risk, 0.63; 95 percent CI, 0.56 to 0.71). The authors hypothesize that breast implant-induced …

Utilization of Intraparotid Segments of Superficial Temporal Vessels for Head and Scalp Free Flap Microanastomosis: A Clinical, Histological, and Cadaveric Study.
[BACKGROUND] The superficial temporal vessels (STV) are an underutilized target for head and neck microvascular reconstruction. Most surgeons regard the dissection as difficult, unreliable, and the anastomosis prone to vasospasm. The intra…

An overview of animation deformity in prosthetic breast reconstruction.
Animation deformity is an unsightly complication after sub-pectoral breast reconstruction characterized by implant displacement with pectoralis muscle contraction. Recent increased awareness of this phenomenon has driven interest in pre-pec…
