Filter by:A total of 38 Chinese healthy women underwent autologous fat grafting for cosmetic breast augmentation. Breast volumes were measured by magnetic resonance imaging preoperatively and 1 year after the procedure. Furthermore, BREAST-Q was used to analyze the satisfaction and well-being of patients during the preoperative and 1 year post operation.
This study will evaluate the incidence of reoperations associated with the use of smooth and textured NATRELLE® INSPIRA® TruForm® 1 and TruForm® 2 devices in patients who have undergone primary breast augmentation.
Retrospective multi-center, post-marketing study to evaluate the incidence and etiology of reoperations with Allergan Natrelle® Breast Implants in primary augmentation (RANBI)
Antibiotics are used routinely in postoperative tissue expander based breast reconstruction (TE) and autologous flap (AF) breast reconstruction procedures. Closed suction drains are also used routinely in immediate breast reconstruction to prevent fluid accumulation and seroma formation at the surgical sites. Antibiotics are most often prescribed as a precaution since drains can be a source for infection by creating open channels to outside contaminants. Plastic surgery patients without closed suction drainage devices are usually not placed on prolonged postoperative antibiotics. Current preoperative surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for up to 24 hours only. These recommendations do not take into account the increased risk of indwelling closed suction drains. A recent survey of plastic surgeons, conducted by SBUMC investigators, (IRB# 129415) found that Plastic Surgeons are divided as to extended outpatient administration following TE breast reconstruction. The study plans to prospectively enroll patients who will undergo immediate breast reconstruction with TE or AF based breast reconstruction. Using the above data and the current protocol, the investigators will investigate the optimal antibiotic discontinuation period for these patients. The investigators hypothesize that the use of 24-hour perioperative antibiotics in TE or AF based immediate breast reconstruction with closed suction drainage, does not result in an increased infection rate compared to prolonged postoperative antibiotic administration.
