Background Nipple areola complex (NAC) reconstruction is the final stage in breast for many women. Although general population preferences on NAC aesthetics and sensation have been studied, it unclear if these align with of women who undergone mastectomy. Therefore, this study aimed to assess aesthetic sensory mastectomy inform subsequent neurotization. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, Facebook-based, crowdsourcing campaign distribute survey (e.g., position, size, pigmentation)...
BACKGROUND: Breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has entered the spotlight as high-profile media outlets, and Food Drug Administration begun to relay evolving science public. This study aimed gauge baseline knowledge concern regarding BIA-ALCL among adult laywomen within United States. Additionally, we sought understand influence of variables including previous exposure breast implants for both cosmetic reconstructive purposes source information on these...
Background: Autologous breast reconstruction is a valuable option for many patients. But, various clinical factors, including cancer laterality, post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), and tissue expander (TE) plane placement, may cause variability in the quality of recipient internal mammary arteries veins (IMA/V). Notably, prepectoral TE placement becoming more widely used improved post-operative outcomes. However, biomechanical benefit staging over traditional subpectoral not well...
Purpose: Autologous breast reconstruction is a valuable option for many patients. Yet, various clinical factors, including cancer laterality, post-mastectomy radiation therapy, and tissue expander (TE) placement plane, may cause variations in the quality of recipient internal mammary arteries veins (IMA/IMV). Notably, prepectoral TE increasingly used to minimize complications improve postoperative outcomes. However, biomechanical benefit staging over traditional subpectoral not well...
