Background: The author presents his own experience using breast implants (BIs) or fat grafting, commonly called lipofilling (LPF), to correct breast hypoplasia.
Objectives: Compare the aesthetic results obtained in a study group (SG) using BIs in breast hypoplasia correction with those of a control group (CG) treated with LPF, analyzing the influence of breast and chest deformities (tuberous breast, breast volume differences/asymmetries, nipple-areola complex asymmetry, pectus excavatum, and carinatum) in the outcomes.
Methods: A randomized, open-label controlled study was performed.

Background: The optimal positioning of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) remains a challenging part of breast surgery, with high-riding NAC (HRNAC) frequently occurring postoperatively. An evidence-based summary of all effective prevention and management strategies is needed for a variety of surgical contexts.
Objectives: This systematic review aims to explore and summarise the prevention and corrective strategies for HRNAC across aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgeries.

Poland syndrome (PS) is a congenital anomaly characterized by unilateral hypoplasia or absence of the pectoralis major muscle, often associated with breast asymmetry. Achieving symmetry while preserving the contralateral breast remains a challenge in reconstruction. We present a case of a 19-year-old woman with left-sided PS, a fully developed right breast, and limited autologous soft tissue (body mass index 19.

Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction in patients with large and ptotic breasts represents a significant challenge due to the presence of skin redundancy and potential uncertain vascularization. This study investigates an innovative approach of performing immediate reconstruction using prepectoral polyurethane-covered (PU) implants after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) or skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) with the aim of avoiding potential complications related to skin-reducing approaches and enhancing cosmetic outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 62 patients who underwent NSM or SSM followed by immediate prepectoral reconstruction with polyurethane-covered implants between December 2018 and May 2024.
