[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is a common complication following breast augmentation and reconstruction with implants. Implant rupture is suspected to cause capsular contracture, but the evidence remains limited. [METHODS] This intrapa…

[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting is increasingly used for breast augmentation. However, long-term volume retention, time to reach steady state, and the effect of postoperative weight changes on these outcomes are not fully understood. [METHODS] I…

[BACKGROUND] Double capsule formation around breast implants is associated with implant rotation and seroma. However, the prevalence and histological characteristics remain unclear. [OBJECTIVES] The goal of this study was to quantify the p…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery worldwide. Some of the most severe short-term complications after breast augmentation are hematoma and deep surgical site infection. However, these co…

[BACKGROUND] The main challenge with fat grafting is loss of some of the graft to postsurgery resorption. Previous studies suggest that adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) can improve the volume retention of fat grafts but there is a lack …

[BACKGROUND] Anatomical implants provide a wide range of options in terms of implant dimensions for breast augmentation. Nevertheless, many surgeons choose not to use anatomical implants due to the risk of rotation malposition and because t…

[BACKGROUND] Breast augmentation with fat grafting is used as an alternative to breast implants. However, a systematic evaluation of the complication rates after fat grafting using only studies with consecutive patients has not previously b…

[BACKGROUND] In most breast reduction techniques, the pedicle of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is de-epithelialized to preserve the subdermal plexus, thereby decreasing the risk of NAC necrosis. However, deskinning the pedicle is faster a…

In this study, we present a new method for measuring fat graft volume retention in the breast based on magnetic resonance imaging scans and a validation study to assess its accuracy and precision. The method was validated by 4 observers usi…

[BACKGROUND] MRI is generally considered as the gold standard for measuring breast volume because of its high accuracy of the modality. Many techniques used to measure total breast volume have been validated, but none of these techniques ha…

[BACKGROUND] Cell-enriched fat grafting has shown promising results for improving graft survival, although many questions remain unanswered. A large animal model is crucial for bridging the gap between rodent studies and human trials. We pr…
