Article Synopsis
- The breast-sharing procedure uses a disposable flap for post-mastectomy reconstruction, allowing simultaneous reconstruction and symmetry without extra donor site issues.
- A study on 10 patients showed this technique can effectively achieve aesthetic results, but complications like venous congestion and the need for fat grafting were noted.
- Despite initial complications, with no recurrent disease over an average of 5.6 years follow-up, patient satisfaction was high, suggesting the technique is viable, especially if modifications are made to reduce risks.
Background: The regenerative properties of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in wound healing and scar formation are a subject of increasing clinical interest.
Objectives: Although preclinical studies have confirmed the angiogenetic, proliferative, and antifibrotic properties of SVF, there is limited clinical evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials.
Methods: Twelve patients who underwent abdominoplasty were included in this clinical study.
Assessment of risk factors for postoperative complications of breast reduction by superior or superomedial pedicle.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates risk factors associated with complications after breast reduction surgery, focusing on the impact of different surgical techniques (superior vs. superomedial pedicle).
- An analysis of 216 patients from 2020 to 2023 showed a complication rate of 24.07%, with wound dehiscence being the most common issue.
- Findings suggest that factors like higher Body Mass Index, use of the superomedial pedicle, and greater resection weight increase complication risks, highlighting the importance of choosing the right technique and addressing modifiable risks to minimize issues.
Background: Revisional surgery for aesthetic breast augmentation remains a challenging procedure. Polyurethane (PU) implants have been found to avoid capsular contracture recurrence as well as to prevent implant displacement by bio-integrating with the pocket.
Objectives: Our study aimed to assess the use of PU implants in breast revisional surgery and to provide an algorithm.
Background: Mechanical isolation of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) separates the stromal component from the parenchymal cells. Emulsification is currently the most commonly used disaggregation method and is effective in disrupting adipocytes and fragmenting the extracellular matrix (ECM). Subsequent push-through filtration of emulsified adipose tissue removes parts of the ECM that are not sufficiently micronized, thereby further liquifying the tissue.
