Background: Augmentation mastopexy focuses on restoring the youthful appearance of the female breast. Despite those benefits, there is large scarring to be considered, and the reduction of this ...
Background: Patients undergoing immediate breast reconstruction with tissue expanders are frequently admitted after surgery for monitoring and pain control, which introduces additional costs and...
Background: The latissimus dorsi–rib osteomyocutaneous free flap (LDRF) has been used for autologous reconstruction of large composite calvarial and scalp defects. In this study, the authors a...
Summary: A particularly prominent mandibular angle or a hypertrophied masseter muscle can result in an excessively wide facial appearance, which some individuals may find less aesthetically plea...
Background: Prepectoral tissue expander (TE) placement for two-stage postmastectomy reconstruction is usually performed in conjunction with insertion of acellular dermal matrix (ADM). However, t...
Summary: Oncoplastic breast reconstruction seeks to address partial mastectomy defects in the setting of breast-conserving surgery to achieve superior aesthetic outcomes with comparable oncologi...
Background: Various techniques for management of the contralateral breast exist in patients with unilateral breast cancer, including contralateral prophylactic mastectomy with immediate breast r...
