Background: The prevalence of breast augmentation as a strategy for achieving idealized feminine proportions, consistent with contemporary beauty standards, has increased notably. This study focuses on the use of nanotextured implants, examining their efficacy in enhancing body symmetry and conforming to current aesthetic ideals.

Methods: Conducted as a prospective cohort study, this research included women who underwent breast augmentation using nanotextured ergonomic implants from 2017 to 2023. A personalized methodology was applied, incorporating an array of anthropometric measurements and individual motivations to inform the selection of implants. The techniques used aimed at fostering a natural aesthetic, coupled with an extensive postoperative follow-up to evaluate outcomes and identify any complications.

Results: The study involved 1000 participants, with findings indicating a marked improvement in breast and overall body proportions, in line with targeted aesthetic principles. High levels of patient satisfaction were observed, with more than 90% reporting favorable aesthetic results and a low incidence of complications. These findings emphasize the effectiveness and safety of nanotextured implants in achieving the desired aesthetic goals.

Conclusions: The study underscores the efficacy of nanotextured implants in attaining balanced feminine proportions, aligning surgical results with modern beauty ideals and enhancing personal well-being. It highlights the significance of a tailored approach in breast augmentation, which encompasses not only the physical aspects of aesthetic enhancement but also the psychological and social facets of patient contentment.

Background: A crucial aspect of contemporary dental implant research is modifying implant microdesign to achieve early and robust osseointegration. This study describes a new facile subtraction approach for microdesign modification of titanium implants using akali-hydrothermal followed by ion-exchange reaction (AHIE) in a salt solution, and compares osseointegration performance to machined titanium alloy (negative control) implants.

Methods: The morphology, wettability, and roughness of the implant surfaces were evaluated.

Antibacterial surfaces can be classified into two categories: passive surfaces, which repel bacteria by affecting surface wettability, and active surfaces, which have bactericidal properties that disrupt cell membranes upon contact. With the increasing demand for effective antibacterial solutions that combine these properties, advanced strategies are concentrating on developing surfaces with dual antimicrobial functionalities. Here, we present surfaces with nanotexture resulting from the phase separation of two different amphiphilic block copolymers displaying efficient dual functionality against bacteria growth.

Evaluation of the immune response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured on Ti6Al4V-ELI polished or etched surfaces.

Introduction: While titanium and its alloys exhibit excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, their polished surfaces can hinder fast and effective osseointegration and other biological processes, such as angiogenesis, due to their inert and hydrophobic properties. Despite being commonly used for orthopedic implants, research focuses on developing surface treatments to improve osseointegration, promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as increasing protein adsorption capacity. This study explores a chemical treatment intended for titanium-based implants that enhances tissue integration without compromising the mechanical properties of the Ti6Al4V substrate.

Article Synopsis
  • Nanotextured surfaces on biocompatible materials improve cell adhesion and support the delivery of biomacromolecules, making them promising for medical implants.
  • A cost-effective nanoetching technique was used to create a nanotextured stainless steel (NT-SS316L) that enhances protein attachment compared to unmodified stainless steel.
  • Experiments showed that NT-SS316L effectively increased the uptake of various biomacromolecules by cells, indicating its potential for localized drug delivery in biomedical applications.

Continuous research on breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has introduced a focus on surface texturizations and a shift towards smooth breast devices, yet outcomes comparing the complication profiles of differently textured tissue expanders (TEs) remain conflicting. The study aim was to compare the complication profile of a new nanotextured and MRI-compatible TE to micro- and macrotextured TEs and to identify possible predictors for complications. A retrospective analysis of women undergoing expander-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy between January 2016 and March 2022 was conducted.
