Body image concerns of breast augmentation patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Since the inception and popularization of microsurgery in the 1960s and 1970s, it has been commonly accepted that the outcome of free tissue transfer directly correlates with surgeon experience. METHODS:The clinical outcomes of three young microsurgeons at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed....
