From "Coordinated" to "Integrated" Residency Training: Evaluating Changes and the Current State of Plastic Surgery Programs.

abstract：:Obesity and specimen weight have both been associated with a higher incidence of complications for patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty. However, obesity has been arbitrarily and inconsistently defined, and the degree of obesity has not been considered in these previous studies. Because insurance companies are in...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bariatric surgery for morbid obesity results in massive weight loss and improvement of health and quality of life. A downside of the major weight loss is the excess of overstretched skin, which may influence the patient's quality of life by causing functional and aesthetic problems. The purpose of the curren...

abstract：:In 1964, I started using vertical mammaplasty without a submammary scar for all breast reductions. This technique was based on the following principles: a central wedge resection, an upper pedicle for the areola, no undermining, and a vertical scar to finish off. Because of the drawings, there was a pitfall: In large ...
