Is there an Ideal Timing for Autologous Fat Grafting in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction? Commentary on A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis was aimed to investigate patients ’ satisfaction with the timing of autologous fat grafting (AFG) in implant-based breast reconstruction and assess outcomes based on verified BREAST-Q scores to establish a set of best practices for the timing of fat grafting in breast reconstruction surgery. AFG can be done during the second stage of surgery along with expander-to-implant exchange, or during a separate third-stage procedure.1 Though second-stage AFG allows the patient to undergo fewer surgeries, drawbacks of this technique include a more complex recovery, as well as a potential need for additional proc...

Staged breast reconstruction utilizing primary nipple repositioning surgery prior to nipple-sparing mastectomy
Staged nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) following mastopexy or breast reduction has become increasingly utilized in patients with large or ptotic breasts. The safety and efficacy of this approach has been demonstrated in recent years. However, the optimal timing between stages has not been established. The authors provide their experience with this staged approach with emphasis on timing between stages. An institutional review board approved this retrospective study. Data of all patients at a single institution who underwent staged NSM following mastopexy or reduction mammaplasty for therapeutic or prophylactic oncologic su...

Deciphering the “David Sign”: Intersections in esthetic surgery and renaissance sculpture
Spotlighting a 500-year-old detail in Michelangelo's “David,” this paper delves into the intricate connection between technique and art in the medical field, especially in esthetic surgery. With rapid technological advancement, medical specialties are becoming increasingly segmented, leading to potential oversights in holistic human examination. D rawing from ancient Greek concepts, “Techne,” “Ars,” and “Episteme” are explored as symbolic representations of the convergence of skill and knowledge.

The Hypothenar Propeller Flap
Full thickness soft-tissue defects along the volar hand can be caused by trauma, tumour resection, infection, Dupuytren ’s and scar release. Under the circumstance when the underlying structures are exposed, soft tissue coverage is required. Numerous flap coverage options for little finger defects are described in the literature, each with their respective advantages and disadvantages. The choice of which to use is determined by defect size, location and the individual preference of the surgeon and patient. (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)
