Subcutaneous Lower Pole Release as Double Bubble Prevention in Constricted Base Breasts: The "Plus One" Augmentation Technique.

Aesthet Surg J

January 2025

Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Sana Kliniken Duesseldorf GmBH, Graeulinger Strasse, Duesseldorf, Germany.

Background: Breasts with a broad base, constricted inframammary fold (IMF) and a short distance between the nipple and the IMF are predisposed to form a double bubble (DB) deformity. Most publications have focused on the correction of a DB rather than on its prevention and thorough analysis of the IMF.

Objectives: Introduction of a third dissection plane in breast augmentation for preventing or correcting DB deformities.

Long-term Breast Shape Analysis After Short-scar Reduction Mammaplasty: A Critical View.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

January 2025

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Rabin Medical Center, Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Background: Over the past 2 decades, vertical scar reduction mammaplasty techniques have been gaining more acceptance. However, many surgeons are still hesitant to use it routinely because of the uncertainty of the effectiveness of vertical scar techniques in managing lower pole skin excess. We aimed to test its efficacy by using objective anthropometric measurements to evaluate long-term breast shape and lower pole stability.

Article Synopsis
  • Mobile LiDAR technology, using the iPhone's LiDAR scanner, offers an affordable alternative to traditional 3D imaging in plastic surgery, potentially increasing accessibility for surgical planning.
  • In a study involving 25 patients, LiDAR measurements proved highly accurate for most breast measurements and showed excellent inter-rater reliability.
  • The analysis indicated a significant cost reduction of 97.8% compared to conventional 3D systems, with measurement accuracy stabilizing after just a few uses.

Bleeding within the orbit in the form of a subperiosteal or retrobulbar hematoma is a relatively common complication of trauma and surgery. It affects up to 30% of patients fractures involving the orbital bones. Most cases do not require surgical intervention because they do not cause retinal ischemia or optic nerve neuropathy.

Changes in Skin Paddle Morphology after Autologous Breast Reconstruction.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

September 2024

From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, School of Medicine, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: Immediate autologous breast reconstruction (IABR) can provide favorable aesthetic outcomes after skin-sparing mastectomy. However, it is known that the morphology of the reconstructed breast changes over time. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to predict the likely amount of change preoperatively to reconstruct a symmetrical breast.
