[OBJECTIVE] Peri-implant enhancement can be seen on contrast-enhanced breast MRI, but its association with malignancy has not been described, leading to considerable variability in assessment and recommendations by radiologists. This study …

[INTRODUCTION] Despite growing interest, there is scarce literature that describes the comorbid conditions and presenting symptoms that can manifest with or potentially as breast implant illness (BII). This review aims to address this gap. …

[BACKGROUND] Throughout the last decade, surgeons across specialties are increasingly using wearable support devices to minimize occupational discomfort during procedures. However, there is still a paucity of their use in plastic surgery. T…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery is most commonly used in the anastomosis of vessels, flap harvesting, lymphedema, and nerve reconstruction, among others. During the 1920s the first microscope was invented by Nylen and Holmgren, quickly becoming t…

[INTRODUCTION] Disparities in access to reconstructive surgery after breast cancer have been reported. We aim to evaluate demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing type of autologous breast reconstruction in Florida. [METHODS] We q…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an emerging and highly treatable cancer of the immune system that can form around textured-surface breast implants. Although the underlying cause has yet to be elucidate…

Recent epidemiological studies have attempted to accurately determine the risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). However, comparisons of previously published works are difficult due to widespread variat…

[BACKGROUND] Microsurgery is one of the most complex operative skills. Recent restrictions on residents' working hours challenge residency program directors to ensure skill acquisition with scant time dedicated to microsurgery practice. We …

[BACKGROUND] Artificial Intelligent Virtual Assistants (AIVA) is a segment of artificial intelligence that is rapidly developing. However, its utilization to address patients' frequently asked questions remains unexplored. [METHODS] We dev…

[BACKGROUND] Management of postoperative pain often requires multimodal approaches. Suboptimal dosages of current therapies can leave patients experiencing periods of insufficient analgesia, often requiring rescue therapy. With absence of a…

[BACKGROUND] The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in tissue expander breast reconstruction has been touted to reduce capsular contracture rates and improve aesthetic outcomes. Autogenous dermal grafts have shown to be a safer and more c…
