Pectoralis Major Muscle 3D Volumetric Reconstruction in the Tuberous Breast: Anatomical and Radiomics Differences With Potential Surgical Impact.

Background: Tuberous breast (TB) is a congenital anomaly characterised by morphological, structural and breast region alterations. The pectoralis major muscle (PMM) is crucial for correction when using breast implants, alterations at this level have received little attention in the literature.

Objectives: This study aims to define the anatomical characteristics of the PMM in TB patients using radiomic data extracted from MRI sequences.

Secondary Breast Augmentation: The Six Winning Moves.

Background: Breast augmentation in 2019 was the first among the top five cosmetic surgical procedures performed worldwide, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It is not only the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery, but also the aesthetic procedure with the highest reoperation rate.

Methods: A retrospective observational study of 306 female patients who underwent secondary breast surgery, with a follow-up of at least 1 year after surgery, from 2010 to 2020 is presented.

Optimizing Postoperative Care in Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: A Review of the Role of Nasal Packing and Alternatives in Complication Management.

Rhinoplasty, a common surgical procedure for nose reshaping, demands meticulous preoperative evaluation and precise execution. When coupled with septoplasty to address medical issues stemming from a deviated nasal septum, these procedures can lead to noteworthy postoperative complications. These encompass early issues like epistaxis and hematoma, as well as long-term challenges such as scarring and aesthetic deformities.

Rejuvenation in Men Facial Aging: A Combined Approach.

Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at reversing the signs of facial aging. While facelift surgery is more commonly performed in women, an increasing number of men are seeking this procedure to maintain a youthful appearance. The long recovery period conflicts the overall primary outcome anticipated by men undergoing rhytidectomy, i.

Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Impact of Body Mass Index on Postoperative Complications and Aesthetic Results: A 5-Year, Single-Center Study.

Background: Increasing adoption of implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) has raised expectations regarding postoperative outcomes and aesthetic results. BMI has been extensively explored as a predictor of complications. This study is the first to examine complication rates in underweight subjects, and compares these rates among underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese patients.

Surgical Tips for Aesthetic Lower Lid Blepharoplasty: Prevention of Round Eye.

Unlabelled: In the present study, we highlight surgical tips based on our experience in lower eyelid blepharoplasty. These have been shown to be crucial in the prevention of several complications, specifically lateral lower-lid displacement.

Methods: A series of bilateral lower-lid blepharoplasties were performed on 280 patients at Humanitas-Research-Hospital (Milan, Italy) between January 2016 and January 2020.

Immediate direct-to-implant breast reconstruction: A single center comparison between different procedures.

Background: The increased incidence of conservative mastectomy operations (nipple- and skin- sparing) has increased the frequency of immediate breast reconstructions (IBR). In order to guarantee patients the best possible aesthetic outcome, the least chance of complications and moreover, the least postoperative pain, the technique with prepectoral prosthetic pocket was recently reconsidered with the use of ADM. This is the first study using Fortiva in prepectoral breast reconstruction, and it compares the outcomes of three different patient populations (undergoing retromuscular, prepectoral and prepectoral reconstruction with ADM).

Aesthetic and Functional Abdominoplasty: Anatomical and Clinical Classification based on a 12-year Retrospective Study.

Unlabelled: Abdomen reshaping is a common plastic surgery procedure, and numerous surgical techniques have been described in the scientific literature. To standardize surgical approach, we propose our protocol that correlates patients' anatomy with the type of procedure performed.

Methods: Between 2008 and 2020, we retrospectively analyzed 582 consecutive female patients who underwent abdomen reshaping procedures, assessing anatomical features, complication rate, patient satisfaction, and surgical result, comparing them with previous reports in the literature.

The Periareolar Approach: All Seasons Technique for Multiple Breast Conditions.

Unlabelled: The periareolar approach was first introduced by Hollander in 1924 and, since then, numerous contributions have been reported by different authors. Despite all the strengths associated with this versatile technique, the periareolar approach still poses three main problems: large areolar diameter with poor quality scar, flattening of the breast cone, and poor stability of the results. The purpose of this article is to show how this surgical technique, with a good patient selection, can be applied to different situations and obtain excellent results.

Algorithm-Assisted Decision Making in Otoplasty.

Introduction: Ear congenital deformities represent an aesthetical concern in adult patients and a social matter in children. An accurate assessment of ear defects should be made preoperatively in order to plan surgery adequately.

Materials And Methods: In order to correctly assess the ear preoperatively the authors have considered four different subunits: helical and scaphal region (A), antihelical region (B), conchal region (C) and lobule region (D).

Gynecomastia: Ultrasound-Confirmed Classification Pertainent to Surgical Correction.

Background: Gynecomastia is the most common form of breast alteration in men, due to proliferation of the gland ducts and stromal components, including fat. In addition to the most obvious indications (weight loss, pharmacotherapy, and drugs suspension), the surgical treatment is needed for long-standing gynecomastia, combining liposuction, adenectomy, partial mammary adenectomy, periareolar skin resection, and round-block suture.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 148 patients undergoing gynecomastia correction from May 2012 to April 2018.

Superior Pedicle Breast Reduction with Prefiguration of Final Shape: A 10-year Retrospective Study.

Unlabelled: Breast reduction, also defined as reduction mammaplasty, is one of the most common procedures performed in aesthetic surgery. Multiple techniques have been proposed throughout the years and several classification systems have been adopted according to: type of incision, pedicle blood supply (cutaneous, glandular, dermoglandular), extent of undermining, excision area, simultaneous or separate tissue excision (fat/gland, skin, or both), and combination of the aforementioned. In the present article, we share our 10 years' experience with reduction mammaplasty and we describe our personal technique, a modified superior pedicle breast reduction.
