“…After exchange to permanent implants, there is a lifelong risk of capsular contracture, requiring exchange on average every 10–15 years . In the event that radiotherapy is required, as in our patient population, the rates of capsular contracture are increased and approach 70% …”

Many, but not all, breast reconstructive surgeons consider autologous reconstruction as the 'gold' standard in the presence of radiotherapy. Rearranging the order of radiotherapy and surgery means operating in a recently irradiated field. We believe the surgical challenges are outweighed by a shorter and simpler reconstructive journey that additionally results in a better cosmesis. It is possible to perform immediate free autologous reconstruction after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and preoperative radiotherapy with excellent results and at least equivalent oncological efficacy.

Abstract:No high-level evidences about the best technique or the best implant to use for obtaining the best outcomes in aesthetic breast augmentation, with low complications and re-interventions rates exist from available literature. In this paper we present the actual best evidence about the etiopathogenesis of main complications in aesthetic breast augmentation, identifying some basic rules to follow in order to reduce complication rates in our daily activity, minimizing re-interventions, obtaining long lasting results and high women's satisfaction levels.

“…37 Over the years many injectable as well as implantable materials have been used, including shellac, beeswax, epoxy resin, petroleum jelly, Teflon, polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol to name a few. 1,5,8,15,36,42 The silicone fill is subdivided (a) into form-stable and soft, based on level of cross-linkage; (b) by shell into textured and smooth; and finally (c) by shape into round versus anatomical. 38 The introduction of the silicone breast gel implant by Cronin and Gerow in 1962 revolutionized breast augmentation surgery.…”
