Exploring the Ideal of Breast Beauty: A Morphometric Analysis Based on the Opinions of the Brazilian Population.

Background The quest to identify parameters deemed optimal for breast aesthetics holds paramount significance in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The definition of ideal breast beauty, however, is subject to cultural variations and diverse standards, necessitating a detailed understanding. Objective This study delves into the perspectives of the Brazilian population regarding the aesthetics of the female breast.

Artificial Intelligence, Genuine Outcome: Analysis of 72 Consecutive Cases of Subfascial Augmentation Mastopexy With Smooth Round Implants Supported by P4HB Scaffold.

Background: Ptosis recurrence often leads to unsatisfactory results after mastopexy, even more so when additional stress is provided by implants on compromised native tissue. The poly-4-hydroxybutyrate(P4HB) scaffold (GalaFLEX) with its favorable safety profile and proven long-term mechanical strength represents a preferred option for soft tissue support.

Objectives: The primary endpoint was assessment of lower pole stretch from the early postoperative period up to 3 years.

Evaluation of Different Breast Implant Shapes in the Same Patient: Is There Really a Difference between Round and Anatomical Implants?

Background: The choice of the right implant shape is one of the most frequent debates in cosmetic breast augmentation. In current literature, the question of whether there is a difference in the appearance of different implant shapes is still an argument of highly controversial discussion. The aim of the present work was, therefore, to analyze whether any difference exists in terms of aesthetic outcome between round and anatomical implants, and if they can be distinguished from each other in a like for like swap, making sure the evaluation was made in exactly similar conditions.

BIA-ALCL-Horizon Scanning.

BIA-ALCL is a subject that has dominated the world of breast implant surgery over the past 7 or 8 years. It is a controversial entity that has stoked much debate amongst the profession of plastic surgery and its associated scientific specialists. Whilst much has been learned about the disease, including its diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, there is still much debate related to aetiology and incidence.
