Decoding Implant-Related Sickness: Unraveling The Complexities Of Breast Implant Illness, Madison M. Stewart
Decoding Implant-Related Sickness: Unraveling The Complexities Of Breast Implant Illness, Madison M. Stewart
Senior Theses
This thesis investigates the phenomenon of breast implant illness (BII), examining its potential correlation with individual factors such as obesity and poor lifestyle habits. BII, characterized by nonspecific symptoms, is often self-diagnosed by patients influenced by social media and internet sources, leading to requests for implant removal. Conducting a comprehensive meta-analysis, the study scrutinizes existing literature to evaluate the association between BII, obesity, and lifestyle choices. Employing inclusion criteria, peer-reviewed publications are analyzed through systematic review methodology to offer insights into the interplay between BII and adiposity, exploring inflammatory mechanisms and patient behaviors like exercise and smoking. The research aims …

Upper Helical Reconstruction During Aesthetic Facelift Procedure: A Case Report, Zachary N. Goldberg, David S. Goldberg
Upper Helical Reconstruction During Aesthetic Facelift Procedure: A Case Report, Zachary N. Goldberg, David S. Goldberg
SKMC Student Presentations and Publications
We present a case of a two-stage reconstruction of a traumatic right upper helix deformity using a random pattern layover skin flap in conjunction with an aesthetic facelift procedure. This serves to encourage reconstructive surgeons to be mindful about seeking opportunities to address additional patient concerns when appropriate and safe.
Oncoplastic Nipple Sparing Mastectomy And Immediate Reconstruction In Non-Ideal Candidates, Aaron I. Dadzie, Paul Berry
Oncoplastic Nipple Sparing Mastectomy And Immediate Reconstruction In Non-Ideal Candidates, Aaron I. Dadzie, Paul Berry
Research Symposium
Background: Mastectomies have long been used as a surgical treatment for malignant and benign disorders of the breast, both as a therapy and prophylaxis in high-risk patients. A nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) allows for removal of most of the glandular and ductal tissues while preserving the surface architecture of the nipple-areola complex (NAC). In satisfactory surgical candidates, this procedure allows for superior aesthetic outcomes compared to other mastectomy techniques and minimizes the need for additional procedures to reconstruct the nipple. Here, we summarize the established treatment standards and suggest an expansion of the established surgical techniques and selection criteria of NSM …

Improvement Of Hair Transplantation In Postcicatracial Alopecia, Maurice Fekry, Ebrahim Awad
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background Because scarred tissue has less blood flow than normal tissue, fewer hair grafts are taken, and the patient may require many sessions to achieve the acquired density, resulting in a lengthy treatment duration of up to 5 years. The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improves these findings. Patients and methods A prospective randomized-controlled study was conducted on 15 patients with cicatricial alopecia and candidates for follicular unit extraction hair transplantation, with ages between 25 and 60 years. Results Functional and esthetic outcomes were achieved by adding PRP regimen to follicular unit extraction hair transplantation for cases presented to us …
