Abstract:

Background: Thanks to 3D imaging, it is possible to measure the influence of different parameters on breast augmentation. In this study, we compare the effect of different shapes and sizes of breast implants on the topography of the resulting breast. Furthermore, the impact of different breast implants on inter-landmark distances and on changes of the nipple position was assessed. Methods: This interventional prospective study was carried out on 10 female patients after collecting informed consent. 3D scans of the native and augmented breasts were performed intraoperatively with small, medium,

Abstract Background The number of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries that use breast implants is increasing in Korea. Recently, it has been reported that breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is related to textured breast implants, and interest in classification according to the texture of breast implants is increasing. However, there is currently no clear and unified classification. In particular, the definition of “microtextured” is highly varied.

Abstract:

Breast implant illness refers to a combination of different symptoms related to breast implant surgery, including fatigue, brain fog, and arthralgias. This malaise occurs after cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgeries, although it has not been proven to be a disease. Even recent studies have reported concluding statements of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment as unclear and widely unknown. Therefore, this review aimed to determine the associations between the manifestations of breast implant illness in surgery and breast reconstruction, as well as the autoimmune responses involved.

Abstract:

Breast implant surgery is now among the top five plastic surgeries done for cosmetic purpose globally. Silicone implants are the most common type of implants used whereas saline implants are used by very few. In the long run, rupture of the breast implant is a complication of these kind of surgeries. As per one study, over a period of 3-20 years, the silicone implants are likely to rupture. After three years of the breast implant surgery, it has been estimated that the survival rate for the silicone breast implants is around 83-85%. Some implant ruptures are silent or asymptomatic.

Background: Breast-implant-based reconstruction is one of the most performed procedures in plastic surgery. Despite the high durability of breast implants, various complications are accompanied with prolonged inlay duration, particularly implant rupture. Many aftereffects can be associated with implant rupture, especially siliconoma and BIA-ALCL. Without regular implant check-ups, implant-related issues may remain underrecognized. Here, we analyzed the number of breast implant carriers needing revisions and if patients adhered to annual implant follow-up recommendations. Methods: We reviewed 1

Introduction Silicone implants have been used ever since the second half of the 20th century. Over that period several generations of implants have been developed that differed in thickness of the shell and viscosity of the silicone gel. Development of these generations of implants was accompanied with different complication rates. The first-generation implants had the lowest tendency to rupture, but were more prone to capsular contracture and calcification formation.

Abstract:

Breast implant rupture is a rare event that can occur at any time after breast augmentation surgery. The most common causes of rupture are natural aging of the implant, traumatic injury, and failure of the implant material. Symptoms of breast implant rupture can range from mild discomfort to total loss of breast shape and size.   Diagnosing a ruptured breast implant can be challenging, as the condition can be asymptomatic in some cases. However, imaging tests such as MRI and ultrasound can help detect the presence of ruptured implants. Treatment options for ruptured breast implants vary d

Abstract:

The present review traces the evolution of breast implants over the past 50 years. During the early years (from 1951 to 1962), a number of different sponges were used for breast augmentation. The first of these was Ivalon, a polyvinyl alcohol sponge. Other sponges were introduced subsequently, including Etheron (a poly-ether sponge popularized by Dr Paule Regnault in Montreal) and Polystan (fabric tapes that were wound into a ball). Subsequently, polyethylene strips enclosed in a fabric or polyethylene casing were also used for breast augmentation. All of these materials had similar outcomes.

Background: Breast implant surfaces are categorized as smooth or textured. Compared with smooth implants, textured surface implants have a higher risk of breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) but may have a lower risk of capsular contracture (CC). This study aimed to quantify whether survey respondents would be willing to accept a higher risk of BIA-ALCL in exchange for the potential reported benefits of textured breast implants.

Abstract:

Tuberous breasts are a congenital anomaly in which the breasts fail to develop normally. This abnormality may include hypoplasia, a tubular appearance, a higher inframammary fold (IMF), and sometimes a herniated nipple-areolar complex. Correction of tuberous breast deformity (TBD) is traditionally done with a 1-stage breast augmentation with radial scoring of the constricted breast tissue and/or the lowering of the IMF. An alternative 2-stage approach first uses a tissue expander to correct the deformity; the expander is later replaced with a permanent breast implant. Sixteen patients are pres

Abstract:

Introduction: Breast implants improve quality of life in patients seeking improved breast aesthetics, and are known to minimize human injury in the less common scenario of penetrating trauma. People commonly sustain rib and sternum fractures and thoracic injury in motor vehicle crashes (MVC), a form of blunt traumatic injury. Whether breast implants minimize injury during MVC is unknown. This study examines the potential protective effect of breast implants in low speed, unrestrained MVC.

Abstract:

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that occurs in patients with at least one prior textured breast implant. BIA-ALCL has a relatively good prognosis when treated promptly. However, data on the methods and timing of the reconstruction process are lacking. Herein, we report the first case of BIA-ALCL in Republic of Korea in a patient who underwent breast reconstruction using implants and an acellular dermal matrix (ADM). A 47-year-old female patient was diagnosed with BIA-ALCL stage IIA (T4N0M0) and underwent bilateral breast au

Abstract:

Silicone implants are frequently used for breast augmentation and reconstruction. However, late complication, such as capsular contracture, remain the most important side effect. In this study we compare different methods for reducing the inflammatory reaction around the silicone implant by introducing one microtextured breast implant in wistar rats. The rats were dividing in 4 groups: the first one was the control group that received untreated implant; in the second we used silicone implants impregnated with rifampin solution, the third one had implant combined with intramuscular dexamethason

Abstract Background: Breast reconstruction with implants is the most common method of immediate reconstruction after mastectomy in patients with breast cancer. Currently, implants with different characteristics are used for this. The choice of implant is most often determined by the thickness of the subcutaneous fat, anatomy, physiology, the patient's wishes and the surgeon's experience with various manufacturers. This directly affects most of the studies conducted, which as a result do not reveal a significant difference between the implants. This study we compare the results of immediate bre

The most typical signs and symptoms are breast lumps, discomfort, and swelling. Clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings are used to make a diagnosis. The basic course of treatment is still removal of the implant and capsule, however in some circumstances stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy may be required.

In the history of medicine, no devices have been more scrutinized and thoroughly studied than breast implants. Although we as plastic surgeons recognize and appreciate the benefits that our patients derive from these devices, society as a whole continues to remain skeptical. The reasons for this are complex and multifactorial but appear to be fueled by the media, oppositional organizations, and several trial lawyers.
