Article Synopsis
- Breast-implant-based reconstruction is common but can lead to serious complications like implant rupture, which may result in issues such as siliconoma and BIA-ALCL.
- A study of 1,128 breast procedures at the University Clinic of St. Poelten found that only 15.46% of patients followed annual check-up recommendations for their implants, leading to many visiting due to pain or aesthetic concerns instead.
- Most ruptures (73.8%) were diagnosed in patients who didn't have regular check-ups, emphasizing the importance of routine examinations to catch issues early and reduce the risk of severe complications.
: Lipedema is a subcutaneous adipose tissue disorder characterized by increased pathological adipocytes mainly in the extremities. Vitamin D is stored in adipocytes, and serum levels inversely correlate with BMI. As adipocytes are removed during liposuction, lipedema patients might be prone to further substantial vitamin D loss while their levels are already decreased.

The antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid (TXA) has gained increasing recognition as a valuable pharmacologic agent within plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of intravenously administered TXA on complications and patient safety after abdominoplasty.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOsteoarthritis, predominantly of the knee, is a highly prevalent disease leading to pain, reduced quality of life, and significantly reduced ability to work. With autologous orthobiologic options, new regenerative treatment methods have emerged, offering an alternative to early surgical intervention. Supercharged Liparthroplasty combines arthroscopy with lipoaspirate and plasma infiltration of the joint.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Breast implant-related complications can be reduced by strict antiseptic precautions during insertion, but bacteria can often be found on implant surfaces on the occasion of revision surgery. The authors prospectively analyzed the association of bacteria found on breast implant surfaces with implant-related complications in breast implant revision cases.
Methods: The authors analyzed a total of 100 breast implant revisions in 66 patients between August of 2018 and January of 2021.
