AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Aesthetic breast implant augmentation surgery is the most popular plastic surgery worldwide. Many women choose to receive breast implants during their reproductive ages, although the long-term effects are still controversial. Research aim: We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the influence of aesthetic breast augmentation on breastfeeding. We also compared the exclusive breastfeeding rates of periareolar versus inframammary incision.
Methods: A systematic search for comparative studies about breast implants and breastfeeding was performed in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science through May 2018. Meta-analysis was conducted with a random-effects model (or fixed effects, if heterogeneity was absent).
Results: Four cohorts and one cross-sectional study were included. There was a significant reduction in the exclusive breastfeeding rate for women with breast implants compared with women without implants, pooled relative risk = 0.63, 95% confidence interval [0.46, 0.86], as well as the breastfeeding rate, pooled relative risk = 0.88, 95% confidence interval [0.81, 0.95]. There was no evidence that periareolar incision was associated with a reduction in the exclusive breastfeeding rate, pooled relative risk = 0.84, 95% confidence interval [0.45, 1.58].
Conclusion: Participants with breast implants are less likely to establish breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding. Periareolar incision does not appear to reduce the exclusive breastfeeding rate.

Intraoperative Predictors of Salvage in Infected Breast Implants: A Retrospective Study.
Aesthet Surg J
December 2024
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Background: Infectious complications associated with implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) can be devastating and may lead to reconstructive failure. While there are known demographic risk factors for reconstructive failure, few studies have identified intraoperative findings that predict failure after attempted salvage.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify intraoperative findings in infected breasts that may be predictive of implant failure.

Breast augmentations, commonly performed for aesthetic or medical reasons, often use silicone (polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS]) implants. Some patients develop complications like capsular contracture, where scar tissue forms around the implant. Previously, we used stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy to detect and quantify silicone in stained capsule tissue, finding a correlation between silicone amount and contracture severity.

Background: Breast augmentation and breast reconstruction with implants are among the most performed surgery worldwide.
Objective: In the search for an ideal implant in terms of safety, shape and consistency, the authors report their experience with a subtype of breast implant, the Diagon\Gel 4Two implants, in both cosmetic and reconstructive cases by analyzing their experience on 116 consecutive patients.
Methods: One hundred and sixteen consecutive patients undergoing both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery using Diagon\Gel 4Two Implants between January 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) can influence the outcome of implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR). This study aims to investigate the complications and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following PMRT between direct-to-implant (DTI) and tissue expander-to-implant (TEI) reconstruction.
Methods: The retrospective study included breast cancer patients undergoing IBBR and PMRT.

Background: Autogenous fat grafting (AFG) has become a common procedure to optimize aesthetic results in breast augmentation (BA). However, complications or outcomes in reoperative BA remain unclear. This study compared the outcomes or risk factors in reoperative BA with AFG and without AFG.
