Progenitor-Enriched Adipose Tissue Transplantation as Rescue for Breast Implant ComplicationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. discuss this article 1 CommentDiscuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Breast enhancement with artificial implants is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries but is associated with various complications, such as capsular contracture, that lead to implant removal or replacement at a relatively high rate. For replacement, we used transplantation of progenitor-supplemented adipose tissue (cell-assisted lipotransfer; CAL) in 15 patients. The stromal vascular fraction containing adipose tissue progenitor cells obtained from liposuction aspirates was used to enrich for progenitor cells in the graft. Overall, clinical results were very satisfactory, and no major abnormaliti...

Silicone breast implantation-induced scleroderma: description of four patients and a critical review of the literature.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Since the early 1980s, case reports and case series describe an association between silicon breast implants and the appearance of autoimmune diseases, particularly scleroderma. The publication of those cases led to a large number of studies to investigate this association. The conclusion of those studies is that most probably there has not been an increased incidence of autoimmune diseases in women with silicon breast implants. Nevertheless, the US Food and Drug Administration determined that silicone gel breast implants are not completely safe, only that they are 'reasonably safe.' The debate continues regarding this ...

The aim was to study the effects of different tobacco administration routes on pain and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), following three common day surgical procedures: cosmetic breast augmentation (CBA), inguinal hernia repair (IHR) and arthroscopic procedures (AS).

Thirty-two percent of the patients used tobacco regularly, 33% of CBA, 27% of IHR and 34% of AS. Pain was well controlled in the post-anesthesia care unit at rest; during ambu...

Abstract Since their first appearance, breast prostheses have been criticized as being both responsible for and giving rise to systemic disease.

Patient Information Before Aesthetic Lipomodeling (Lipoaugmentation): A French Plastic Surgeon's PerspectiveEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Fat grafting to the breasts has long been controversial among aesthetic surgeons. We have developed a new, safe, effective, and reliable lipomodeling method to be used in breast augmentation. This method grew out of our clinical and radiologic experience acquired since 1998 with fat injections to the breast. The aim of the present report is to provide facts and data concerning lipomodeling and to document our procedures for ensuring that clear, consistent, up-to-date information is given to the patients who are undergoing aesthetic lipomodeling. The key element in our preparation is our commitment to avoid missing the diag...

The second case, hairy cell leukemia involving the breast and ipsilateral axillary sentinel lymph node, is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of hairy cell leukemia involving the breast at the time of diagnosis.

Abdominal Fascial Flaps for Providing Total Implant Coverage in One-Stage Breast Reconstruction: An Autologous SolutionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion There are many ways to provide soft-tissue coverage of silicone breast implants in breast reconstruction. These include acellular dermis slings, polyglycolic mesh, deepithelialized skin, and muscle. The ideal soft-tissue cover would be supple, easily harvested, of minimal morbidity, of minimal cost, and preferably autologous. We feel that the technique described here has these qualities and allows for complete coverage of silicone implants. An additional benefit of this technique is that it helps to increase the definition of the inframammary sulcus. This method is a good alternative in providing ...

The close temporal relationship of the galactorrhea and apparent prolactin elevation shortly after augmentation mammoplasty strongly suggests a causal link.

We, therefore, analyzed all mesenchymal tumors associated with breast implants from our soft tissue consultation database spanning a period from 1989 to 2005. Information regarding location, type, and integrity of implant and its temporal relationship to tumor was recorded. Eight IAM...
