The increasing demand for both reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery has brought renewed attention to the complexities of revision procedures, particularly revision mastopexy. Despite its growing relevance, the literature on this topi…

: Patients admitted to plastic surgery units increasingly present with multimorbidity, advanced age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic wounds, and complex metabolic requirements. In several surgical specialties, internal medicine sp…

Autologous fat grafting has become integral to breast reconstruction, yet variability in graft retention continues to challenge its reliability. This study aimed to characterize the biological and clinical properties of adipose tissue harve…

Cranioplasty using Hydroxyapatite prosthesis is a conceptually simple procedure, but it may harbor several challenges for the surgeons. Several papers in the literature deal with cranioplasty using porous hydroxyapatite. The results are not…

[BACKGROUND] Two-stages pre-pectoral breast reconstruction may confer advantages over direct to implant (DTI) and subpectoral reconstruction in selected patients who have no indication for autologous reconstruction. The primary endpoint of …

Breast reconstructive surgery has evolved significantly over the years. One of the recent advancements is the use of prepectoral implants in combination with synthetic and biological material as a natural and effective coverage. To date, th…

: Surgeons have long been aware of Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will". When applied to surgery, Murphy's Law suggests that if there is a way that an operation can be set up incorrectly then someday, somewhere, it will be set …

Rectus muscles widened by pregnancy are handled in dramatically different ways in standard abdominoplasty and mesh abdominoplasty. Patients with significant abdominal wall laxity and/or umbilical hernia repair are treated with the use of re…

Mesenchymal stem cells extracted from adipose tissue are particularly promising given the ease of harvest by standard liposuction and reduced donor site morbidity. This study proposes a novel enzymatic method for isolating stem cells using …

[BACKGROUND] Liposuction is a safe, simple, and effective method of body contouring. Pain, ecchymosis, and edema are often local complications at the removal site, especially in the first weeks after surgery. Several studies have shown that…

Plastic surgeons have used the reconstructive ladder for many decades as a standard directory for complex trauma reconstruction with the goal of repairing body structures and restoring functionality. This consists of different surgical mane…

There has been recently heightened media-driven attention to BII and BI-ALCL. Nowadays the importance of receiving correct and complete evidence-based information about these diseases and the potential impact of these emerging issues on dis…

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction after mastectomy using silicone implants is a surgical procedure that occasionally leads to capsular contracture formation. This phenomenon constitutes an important and persistent cause of morbidity, and n…

: Lipofilling is a commonly performed procedure worldwide for breast augmentation and correction of breast contour deformities. In breast reconstruction, fat grafting has been used as a single reconstructive technique, as well as in combina…

[BACKGROUND] The objective of this clinical review is to provide an overview of the use of breast implants after capsular contracture (CC) surgical treatment, with a focus on type of implants used. Furthermore, our experience in this field …

Implant ruptures may be diagnosed by physical examination, ultrasound (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The absence of standard guidelines to approach to implant ruptures may cause unnecessary surgical revisions in the absence of …

Nowadays didactic and surgical activities for residents in the surgery field are less and less due to an increasing burden of documentation and "non-educational work." Considering the current lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has ne…

[BACKGROUND] The objective of this clinical review is to provide an overview of the use of silicone gel-filled breast implants placed in the sub-muscular position, with a focus on complication rates reported for both smooth and textured imp…

[BACKGROUND] Symmastia is a medial confluence of the breasts, produced by a web of skin and fat merged across the midline, that generates the disappearance of the intermammary sulcus. Apart from the rare congenital cases, this condition is …

The advantages and disadvantages of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in breast reconstruction have been well documented. ADM is commonly used in breast reconstruction, but it adds cost to the procedure and has been associated with an increased…

The authors present a simple technique for operations around hair-bearing areas such as during a rhytidectomy. Hair surrounding the surgical field is twisted into bundles and clipped with duckbill clips. The authors repeat the procedure for…

Hypertrophy of the breast (macromastia and gigantomastia) is a rare medical condition of the breast connective tissues. The etiology of this condition is still not clear; rarely, gigantomastia has been reported to develop in the setting of …

[BACKGROUND] Healthy breast surgery constitutes an important step to achieve symmetry in unilateral implant-based reconstructions. We analysed long-term results of breast symmetry obtained with reduction mammaplasties, and we evaluated whet…

[BACKGROUND] Periprosthetic capsule formation is a physiological phenomenon occurring around breast implants. In case of capsular contracture, several surgical techniques are described; among them, total capsulectomy is considered the gold …
