BACKGROUND: The fat-augmented latissimus dorsi (FALD) flap combines this pedicled flap with immediate intraoperative fat transfer. Very little is described concerning its inset at the mammary site. Our efforts have concentrated on seeking the best flap orientation and skin-adipose paddle shaping, to improve the aesthetic outcome and to obtain a complete breast reconstruction (BR) in one stage. METHODS: A prospective clinical study was performed in patients who underwent BR with FALD flaps, between December 2020 and March 2022...

BACKGROUND: This study considers observers' reflexive responses to the rejuvenated face, and how instinctive responses relate to subjective judgment. We investigated observers' reflexive perception of faces both pre and post surgical intervention during the early stages of visual processing. Subjective character attribution for all test images was also assessed by the same observers. METHOD: Forty frontal facial images of 20 patients portraying the pre- and postoperative high superficial musculoaponeurotic system facelift along with variable concomitant procedures were studied...

BACKGROUND: Removal of the eschar has gradually become a consensus on treatments of deep dermal necrosis after skin trauma in recent years, whereas exaggerated scar contracture and tissue proliferation developed during healing have received little attention. Here, the authors investigated the effects of eschar on excessive wound healing of small dermal damage and focused on the role M2 macrophages played, hoping to offer a theoretical basis to improve patients' cosmetic satisfaction. METHODS: A mouse dorsal wound model (n = 12) was established by electric heating pads heating for 20 seconds on each side of the spine, and the left side was the preserved group...

Individuals with maxillary dentofacial deformities commonly have preexisting nasal airway obstruction with associated nasal septal deviation. Combination bimaxillary procedures with intraoral septoplasty after maxillary downfracture have been demonstrated to address dentofacial deformities and nasal obstruction simultaneously. Although effective, current transoral septoplasty techniques offer limited visualization of the superior septum and are challenging to perform due to septal mobility after Le Fort I downfracture...

BACKGROUND: Upper blepharoplasty is the most popular facial cosmetic surgery. Although there are a variety of reasons to undergo this procedure, all patients expect an optimal cosmetic result. However, little is known about the factors that influence satisfaction with treatment outcome. OBJECTIVES: We assessed to what extent patient characteristics, clinician-rated and postsurgical outcome measures, and patient-reported satisfaction with facial appearance and quality-of-life are associated with patient-reported satisfaction with treatment outcome after a primary upper blepharoplasty...

Acellular fish skin grafts (FSGs) are tissue-based products created by minimally processing the skin of the Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ). The FSG is rich in omega-3 and facilitates tissue regeneration by supporting revascularization and ingrowth in the proliferation and remodeling phases of wound healing. FSG is structurally more similar to human skin than antiviral-processed skin substitutes such as amniotic membrane, and there are no known prion, bacterial, or viral diseases that can be transmitted from North-Atlantic cod to humans...

Hematoma-induced vasospasm is a significant factor that can compromise the success of flap reconstructive surgery. Despite advances in microsurgical techniques and knowledge, vasospasm remains a direct cause of flap loss. Hematoma-induced vasospasm occurs due to the presence of blood breakdown products, which can lead to arterial constriction and reduced blood flow to the transplanted tissue. A 77-year-old man with a history of coronary angina developed soft tissue sarcoma on the right groin. Postoperative hematoma-induced vasospasm occurred subsequent to the reconstruction using a pedicled anterolateral thigh flap for the defect after wide resection...

BACKGROUND: Although multiple primary melanomas (MPMs) have been reported in the literature, the subgroup of synchronous melanomas (SMs) remains understudied. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive systematic review of the English literature from 1972 to 2023 to characterize SM. Our objective was to clarify the definition, determine incidence and prognosis, and present recommendations. RESULTS: We found 18 case series articles and six case reports that met our criteria...

The use of the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet, a tumescent local anesthetic technique in recent years, emerged as a powerful tool primarily in hand surgery. It has been adopted in many low- and middle-income countries where it was applied to an increasingly broad group of procedures. We report the case of an older patient with an arm liposarcoma for which surgery under general or regional anesthesia was deemed unsafe, but was successfully managed with a curative right shoulder disarticulation using tumescent local anesthesia...

Deformities of the chin, including both macrogenia or microgenia, can alter facial aesthetics and harmony. Various reliable approaches to correct chin abnormalities are present. Nonetheless, in this article, we propose our surgical approach to reduce the chin with a 5-mm cutting burr, without the need for osteotomy. The ultimate goal of this new procedure is to provide optimum outcomes, ensure maximum safety, reduce the complication risk, and present a simple and fast option for chin reduction.

Healthcare disparities remain a significant problem facing the US healthcare system with recent evidence of persistent racial and ethnic disparities especially among patients from minority backgrounds. Recent studies have documented advantages to a racially and ethnically diverse surgical workforce such as higher patient satisfaction scores, superior patient compliance with physician recommendations, and increased participation in clinical research studies by minority patients. In plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS), there is a noted deficit among residents and faculty that come from ethnically underrepresented in medicine (URiM) backgrounds despite recent efforts to increase diversity in PRS surgeons...

BACKGROUND: Seroma, along with other complications, occurs as a result of poor wound healing following breast reconstructive surgery. The Interi System was developed to address the need for more effective approaches to close internal dead space and evacuate postsurgical fluid. Interi is an internal negative pressure delivery system with a unique branching manifold for broad coverage of internal tissue planes. Initial experience in a small cohort undergoing prepectoral breast reconstruction showed a clinical and statistically significant reduction in seroma and any complication versus standard drains...

The number of breast implant removal procedures are rising. Among the reasons why patients seek breast implant removal, the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), also named breast implant illness, is increasingly common. ASIA is an entity that incorporates diverse autoimmune conditions induced by the exposure to various adjuvants, including silicone, and it is characterized by systemic symptoms reminiscent of autoimmune disorders. Implant removal has the most effective treatment for ASIA...
