Breast augmentation Flashcards
List 4 features of the ideal breast
1) upper pole : lower pole volume distribution ~ 45:55 2) Nipple angulation ~ 20’ up 3) Straight or slightly concave upper pole 4) Tight convex lower pole
Define biofilm
a structured community of micro-organisms encapsulated within a self-develop polymeric matrix that is irreversibly adherent to surface of indwelling foreign body
List mechanisms to reduce risk of capsular contracture
1) prophylactic antibiotics 2) nipple shield 3) IMF approach 4) submuscular position 5) textured implant for subglandular position 6) prophylactic hemostasis 7) pocket irrigation with triple mix (cephazolin, bacitracin, gentamycin) 8) implant irrigation with bacitracin 9) chest wall betadine prep 10) glove change 11) no touch (funnel) or single-touch technique
What is the difference between silicon and silicone
silicon: elemental silica , SiO2 silicone : polymer of dimethyl siloxane (CH4)2- Si- O2
What are contraidications to Breast augmentation
- immunosuppression
- active infection
- medically unfit
- undiagnossed breast pathology
- unreasoble expectations or inabilit to comprehend possible complications
What are key points to obtain on history and physical
HISTORY
- Breast Hx - RF, FamHx, Personal Hx, last mammogram
- Pregnancy Hx
- Satisfaction with curent breast size and shape
- Patient goals, motives expectations
- PMHx
- SocHx
- Occupational Hx
- MEds, All
PHYSICAL EXAM
- height weight bra cp size
- Breast SSS (size shape symmetry)
- Ptosis
- IMF NAC
- Masses
- Envelope thickness
- MEasureemnts: Sn-N, N-M, BW, N-IMF, IMD, STPT UP, IMF, APSS
What are techqnieus for autologous fat transfer to the breast
- Pre-expansion
- negative pressure suctio apparatus to expand volume and increase volume of fat retained
- Direct autologous transfer
- may require multiple stages of fat transfer
- Fat harvest
- PAL, manual, SAL
- Fat processing
- gravity via decanter, low pressure, high pressure centrifuge
- Adjuncts
- PRP, implant
What are features of an ideal breast implant
- Non-allergenic
- Non-carcinogenic
- Non-irritant
- Inert material
- Impervious to body fluids
- producable in desired form
- sterilizable
- natural feel
How do you classify breast implants
- SHELL MATERIAL
- Silicone rubber (dimethylsiloxane)
- SHELL SURFACE
- Smooth
- Textured
- Mentor (Siltex) - irregular depressions due to lost salt technique
- Allergan (Biocell) - regular depressions due to negative imprint of impression
- FILLER MATERIAL
- Cohesive gel
- Mentor Memory Gel Cohesive I, II, III
- Allergan TruForm I (Responsive), II (Soft Touch), III (cohesive)
- Saline
- Cohesive gel
- SHAPE
- Round
- Mentor, T/S
- Allergan (Natrlle inspira) T/S, 4 projections
- Anatomic
- Mentor CPG saline or silicone 300series
- 3XY (3 = most cohesive, X=height, Y projection)
- Allergan 410 soft touch (2) and cohesive(3)
- 410XY (X-height, Y-projection)
- Allergan 510 - cohesive gela t base and Firm cohesive gel anterior (to maintian projection for tuberous/poland, ptosis)
- Mentor CPG saline or silicone 300series
- Round
- STRUCTURE (LUMEN)
- single lumen
- double lumen
- Becker Mentor - silicone outside, saline inside
- GENERATION
- 1st (60s) Thich shell, gel, dacron patch, anatomic => high CC#
- 2nd (70s) Thin shell, gel less viscious, round =>high rupture #
- 3rd (80s) Thick Trilayer S/T, thicker gel, round, low bleed
- 4th (90s) Thick shell S/T thicker gel, round, low bleed
- 5th (90s) same as 4th but enhanced coheisve form stable gel for anatomic
What is a capsular contrature
contraction of bursa cavity around implant creatinga tight cavity
What are the three layer of a implant capsule
(Pasyk indicated 4 layers of capsule around tissue expander)
- Outer: vascular, loose connective tissue
- Middle: acellular, collagen fibersi nparallel bundles
- Inner: myofibroblasts, fibrocystes, histiocytes with collagen
PASYK
- inner layer: synovial-like layer with fibrin and macrophages
- central layer: elongated fibroblasts and myofibroblasts
- transition zone: loose areolar connective tissue (loose collagen)
- Outer zone: vascular layer, blood vessels and parallel collagen
What is the etiology of CC
- Infectious origin
- subclinical infection
- Hypertrophic scarring
- 2’ to hematoma, seroma, silicone bleed
What factors influence CC
- Implant: textured vs smooth
- Operative technique
- antibiotic pocket irrigation
- no touch or talc-free gloves
- pocket size relative to implant
- closed system for saline fill
- intraluminal steroid
- Post-op
- massage
- oral vitamin E
- Patient
- Hx of radiation
What is the treatment of CC
- Open capsulotomy
- Open capsulectomy
- change of implant location (subglandular, subpectoral, dual plane)
What are uses for ADM in revision breast surgery?
- Correction of malposition
- Reinforce envelope - rippling with thin tissue
- Reinforce following casulectomy - CC
