[BACKGROUND] Dual-plane breast augmentation has traditionally been the standard approach in aesthetic breast surgery, while prepectoral placement was reserved for selected anatomical indications. Advances in implant technology and growing c…

The concept of the "ideal breast" in aesthetic surgery has historically varied across regions, with European surgeons favouring more natural outcomes and South American surgeons preferring fuller aesthetics. This study aimed to evaluate whe…

[BACKGROUND] Breast mastopexy poses unique challenges in achieving long-term results, particularly regarding the recurrence of ptosis. For this reason, different surgical techniques have been proposed, including those involving the use of a…

[BACKGROUND] Ptosis recurrence often leads to unsatisfactory results after mastopexy, even more so when additional stress is provided by implants on compromised native tissue. The poly-4-hydroxybutyrate(P4HB) scaffold (GalaFLEX) with its fa…

[BACKGROUND] A significant number of patients with a previous submuscular breast augmentation require a revision surgical procedure during their long-term follow-up period that involves changing the implant pocket from submuscular to subgla…

[BACKGROUND] The choice of the right implant shape is one of the most frequent debates in cosmetic breast augmentation. In current literature, the question of whether there is a difference in the appearance of different implant shapes is st…

[BACKGROUND] Laboratory and clinical research on breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is rapidly evolving. Changes in standard of care and insights into best practice were recently presented at the 3rd World C…

[BACKGROUND] The popularity of utilizing mesh in the breast has varied over the years. It is well described, and yet there has been poor uptake of its utilization in aesthetic breast surgery. Poly-4-huydroxybutarate (P4HB; GalaFLEX, Galatea…

The choice between anatomical and round implants is an important decision in breast augmentation surgery; however, both have their place and the decision between them that should be made on a patient-by-patient basis, taking into account th…

[BACKGROUND] The Keller funnel is an easy-to-use mechanical device that aids breast implant insertion. This study analyzed implant insertion time and incision length using the Keller funnel versus conventional manual insertion. [METHODS] T…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an uncommon neoplasia occurring in women with either cosmetic or reconstructive breast implants. The actual knowledge about BIA-ALCL deriving from the literature present…

[BACKGROUND] Bacteria/biofilm on breast implant surfaces has been implicated in capsular contracture and breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). Macrotextured breast implants have been shown to harbor more bacteria …

We propose a safe, simple, and novel method to harvest fat using a standard liposuction cannula and a Redivac or alternative closed-suction drain. The authors have used this technique for both 'dry' and 'wet' liposuction. This technique is …

[BACKGROUND] The authors' published studies have helped define breast beauty in outlining key parameters that contribute to breast attractiveness. The "ICE" principle puts design into practice. It is a simplified formula for inframammary fo…

[BACKGROUND] Social media use is growing inexorably, and there is public appetite for evidence-based information. Little is known about engagement by plastic surgeons with social media. The aim of this study was to examine posting about pla…

There are few objective analyses in the plastic surgical literature to define an aesthetically pleasing template for breast shape and proportion. The authors previously identified key objective parameters that define breast aesthetic ideals…

[LEARNING OBJECTIVES] After reading this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Cite the key concepts in the process of breast augmentation that optimize outcomes; 2. Cite key components of tissue-based planning for implant selectio…

Body contour surgery is in continuous evolution in an attempt to offer better aesthetic results. With greater understanding of the superficial fascial system of the trunk, various suspension procedures have been devised which use the fascia…
