Prevalence and factors associated with persistent pain following body contouring surgery

Chatel, H. et als.
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2016-05-01, Volúmen 69, Número 5, Pages 700-705

portada - JPRAS - Vol. 69; No. 5 (2016)Persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) has been reported by patients following various surgeries. Body contouring procedures are being performed more frequently, but no data are available regarding the effects of these procedures. Long-term disability occurring after performing “functional” procedures on healthy subjects is a particular concern. The aim of this study was to describe the risk factors, prevalence, characteristics, and effects of persistent pain after body contouring procedures.

Gluteal augmentation with fat grafting

Toledo, L.
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2015-04-01, Volúmen 42, Número 2, Pages 253-261

portada - Clinics in Plastic Surgery - Vol. 42; No. 2 (2015)The author started injecting large quantities of fat in the breasts, thighs, and buttocks in 1985. The Brazilian Buttock technique was first presented in 1987; since then, the author has been writing and lecturing about it worldwide. In the past few years, the technique became very popular; it has changed the ideal of beauty in many countries. Recently, the author started using adipose-derived stem cell–based therapies for buttock augmentation to improve the results of fat graft survival.

Population analysis of the perfect breast: a morphometric analysis

Mallucci, P; Branford, O.

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – September 2014 – Volume 134 – Issue 3 – p 436–447

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)The authors previously identified key objective parameters that define the aesthetic ideal of the breast in a study of 100 models with natural breasts. In this follow-up article, the opinion of the general public on ideal breast proportions was surveyed.
One thousand three hundred fifteen respondents were asked to rank the attractiveness of images of four women with varying breast sizes. Each of the women’s breasts were morphed into four different proportions. One of the key features was the upper pole–to–lower pole percentage proportion, corresponding to ratios of 35:65, 45:55, 50:50, and 55:45. Rankings were analyzed according to population demographics. Effects of age, sex, nationality, and ethnicity were evaluated. The responses of 53 plastic surgeons were included.

Antibiotic use in facial plastic surgery

González-Castro, J; Lighthall, J. G.
Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America, 2016-08-01, Volúmen 24, Número 3, Pages 347-356

portada - Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America - Vol. 24; No. 3 (2016)Prophylactic antibiotic use in facial plastic surgery is a highly controversial topic primarily due to the lack of evidence in support of or against antibiotic use. In this section the authors present the available literature on the most commonly performed procedures within facial plastic surgery in an attempt to see if the data support or contradict the need for antibiotic prophylaxis in facial plastic surgery.

Facial transplantation

Russo, J; Genden, E.
Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America, 2016-08-01, Volúmen 24, Número 3, Pages 367-377

portada - Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America - Vol. 24; No. 3 (2016)Reconstruction of severe facial deformities poses a unique surgical challenge: restoring the aesthetic form and function of the face. Facial transplantation has emerged over the last decade as an option for reconstruction of these defects in carefully selected patients. As the world experience with facial transplantation grows, debate remains regarding whether such a highly technical, resource-intensive procedure is warranted, all to improve quality of life but not necessarily prolong it. This article reviews the current state of facial transplantation with focus on the current controversies and challenges, with particular attention to issues of technique, immunology, and ethics.

Quality of life following total mastectomy with and without reconstruction versus breast conserving surgery for breast cancer: a case controlled cohort study

Howes, B. et als.
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2016-09-01, Volúmen 69, Número 9, Pages 1184-1191

portada - JPRAS - Vol. 69; No. 9 (2016)Patient reported outcomes and quality of life following mastectomy are not well understood. This study evaluates the quality of life following surgery for breast cancer and compares outcomes following breast conserving surgery versus total mastectomy with or without reconstruction.
A case-controlled cross-sectional study was conducted using the validated BREAST-Q™ questionnaire and a study-specific questionnaire to determine patient’s views about surgical outcomes. Questionnaires were completed by patients following breast-conserving surgery and total mastectomy with or without reconstruction and by controls without breast cancer. A one-way ANOVA was used to compare mean BREAST-Q™ scores between groups and post hoc analysis using Tukey’s and Kruskal–Wallis tests.

ASPS Clinical Practice Guideline summary on breast reconstruction with expanders and implants

Alderman, A; Gutowski, K; Ahuja, A; Gray, D.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – October 2014 – Volume 134 – Issue 4 – p 648e–655e

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013) In March of 2013, the Executive Committee of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons approved an evidence-based guideline on breast reconstruction with expanders and implants, as developed by a guideline-specific work group commissioned by the society’s Health Policy Committee. The guideline addresses ten clinical questions: patient education, immediate versus delayed reconstruction, risk factors, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, antibiotic prophylaxis, acellular dermal matrix, monitoring for cancer recurrence, and oncologic outcomes associated with implant-based reconstruction.

Diffusion and perfusion: the keys to fat grafting

Khouri, R. et als.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open, September 2014 – Volume 2 – Issue 9 – p e220

portada - PRS Golbal Open - Vol. 1; No. 3 (2013)Fat grafting is now widely used in plastic surgery. Long-term graft retention can be unpredictable. Fat grafts must obtain oxygen via diffusion until neovascularization occurs, so oxygen delivery may be the overarching variable in graft retention.
We studied the peer-reviewed literature to determine which aspects of a fat graft and the microenvironment surrounding a fat graft affect oxygen delivery and created 3 models relating distinct variables to oxygen delivery and graft retention.
