Our meta-analysis indicated that the risk of surgical complications and tissue necrosis after reduction mammaplasty is higher in obese patients than in non-obese patients and that the risk gradually increases with an increase in the severity of obesity. The findings of this study could form a basis for preoperative patient education, surgical method selection, and determination of the extent of postoperative care.

Using PDO cog threads for midface lifting is simpler, quicker, and less invasive than using conventional surgical methods, and this method simultaneously achieves satisfactory results for at least 6 months.

Autologous reconstruction using abdominal flaps remains the most popular method for breast reconstruction worldwide. We aimed to evaluate a prediction model using machine-learning methods and to determine which factors increase abdominal flap donor site complications with logistic regression. We evaluated the predictive ability of different machine learning packages, reviewing a cohort of breast reconstruction patients who underwent abdominal flaps. We analyzed 13 treatment variables for effects

According to our meta-analysis of previous literatures, the aggregated rates of various complications related to reduction malarplasty were not high. Among the various complications, short-term sensory weakness was shown as the most frequent complication, emphasizing the necessity of patient warning and education before and after the operation. Moreover, soft tissue drooping and bone nonunion are also not rare and surgeons should be aware of these complications.

When performing immediate autologous breast reconstruction, 14% volume overcorrection is recommended for patients in whom adjuvant radiation therapy is anticipated to improve aesthetic outcomes.

The authors experienced good results with using the SCIP flap in dorsal foot reconstruction. Reconstruction with the SCIP flap can be a good surgical option, with better postoperative symmetry and minimal donor sequelae, compared to conventional workhorse flaps.

Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy has been proven to affect patient quality of life, psychological well-being, and functional capacities. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of breast reconstruction on postoperative shoulder function and muscle performance by evaluating isokinetic muscle performance tests.A retrospective chart review to collect data on shoulder function analysis with isokinetic muscle performance testing was performed among patients who

Onlay frame bone graft by using rib bone as donor material, with combination of facial fat free flap transfer can be an excellent choice in restoring facial symmetry in severe cases of progressive hemifacial atrophy.

The development of breast implant technology continues to evolve over time, but changes in breast shape after implantation have not been fully elucidated. Thus, we performed computerized finite element analysis in order to better understand the trajectory of changes and stress variation after breast implantation. The finite element analysis of changes in breast shape involved two components: a static analysis of the position where the implant is inserted, and a dynamic analysis of the downward p

We observed slightly different clinical effects for each surgical method; however, all surgical methods demonstrated a reduction in the degree of edema and an increase in patient satisfaction.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> A standardized lymphedema grading system is a prerequisite for accurately and objectively evaluating its severity, both preoperatively and postoperatively. The purpose of this study was to establish a clinically feasible noncontrast magnetic resonance lymphangiography (NMRL) protocol and a standardized scoring system for the evaluation of lymphedema. <b><i>Methods and Results:</i></b> From January 2020 to February 2021, 39 patients who had been clinically diagnosed with
