Background: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a controversial topic in the field of plastic surgery.

Objective: Our aim was to determine whether BDD knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) are affected by the experience of the surgeon in the field, sex of the surgeon, country of practice, and the number of patients the surgeon sees annually. We were particularly interested in uncovering any significant relations in KAP of BDD between plastic surgeons practicing in developed versus developing countries.

Background: Transaxillary subpectoral augmentation mammaplasty (TASPA) is not widely accepted due to perceived limitations in pocket access, visualization, control, and subsequent risk for postoperative complications. Current published data do little to substantiate or refute those claims.

Objective: A retrospective chart review of a single surgeon's 20-year experience with the TASPA technique was undertaken to assess the incidence of total secondary procedures, implant-related revisions, and reoperations unrelated to the implant.

Background: This study aimed to describe the injury mechanisms of children involved in side-impact car crashes, particularly as these relate to seating position, and to estimate the danger of the near-side seating position.

Methods: A prospective two-center study of children involved in severe car crashes in Canada was conducted as well as a retrospective cohort study of children involved in crashes reported in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the National Automotive Sampling System: Crashworthiness Data System (NASS CDS).

Results: Children sitting at the side the car was struck (near-side position) sustained severe head, trunk, and limb injuries.

Given the use of sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer staging, some plastic surgeons may be hesitant to offer patients a transaxillary approach to augmentation for fear of disrupting the lymphatic drainage of the breast. Dissection within the axilla theoretically compromises the normal drainage of the breast tissue to the axillary lymph node basin, a critical element in the procedure of sentinel lymph node mapping. We present a case report in which successful sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed after transaxillary subpectoral augmentation mammaplasty.
