With the emergence of state-of-the art implant technology and advanced surgical techniques, plastic surgeons face challenging problems, such as identification a specific type device diagnosis postoperative complications, in managing patients undergoing implant-based augmentation mammaplasty. In this article, authors introduce novel method for characterizing breast based on diverse factors (eg, filler properties, pocket, surface topography, shape type, manufacturer device) detecting presence...
Asian women are stereotypically characterized by a slim body, smaller breasts and areolae, larger nipples when compared with White women. They would therefore be vulnerable to displacement of breast implant if they receive implants. also prone hypertrophic prolonged hyperemic scars. Surgeons should aware women's anatomy, healing tendency, preferences. We conducted this multicenter, retrospective study assess the short-term safety BellaGel implants in Korean women.We evaluated total 637 (n =...
It is allegedly reported that the BellaGel® SmoothFine (HansBiomed Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea) and Motiva ErgonomixTM (Establishment Labs Holdings Inc., Alajuela, Costa Rica) are representative brands of a microtextured breast implant in Korea. We compared short-term safety outcomes between them. evaluated patients who received augmentation using (n = 264) or Ergonomix™ 76) for aesthetic purposes those with available medical records.
