Implant Shell Characteristics
Modern breast implant design emphasizes the host response at the surface. Implant surfaces are characterized by their roughness, surface area, and potential for bacterial attachment. The future of implant design may lie in the ability of bioengineers to transform both the structure and chemical properties of the device surface and therefore affect potential long-term outcomes.

Mastopexy with Autoaugmentation and Fat Transfer
This article focuses on perioperative decision making and surgical technique in performing a mastopexy with autoaugmentation and fat grafting. The use of a lower island of breast parenchyma relocated to the upper pole through a central pedicle in primary surgery and a superior pedicle in postexplantation cases, along with fat grafting can provide improvement in global volume or simply additional volume in areas of deficiency, such as the upper poles and medial cleavage region.

Adverse Events Associated with Breast Implants
Breast augmentation has consistently been the most common cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States since 2006. Capsular contracture, the most common reason for implant removal and/or revision, can cause breast pain and discomfort and affect the breast. Revision surgery is associated with decreased patient satisfaction rates and capsular contracture recurrence. Why some capsules form and some progress to contracture is still subject to hypothesis. It has been theorized that capsular contracture results from an imbalance between suppressors and potentiators, favoring potentiators where an imbalance biased t...
