The Mammary Glands01:12

The Mammary Glands

1.1K
The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Pneumothorax-II

327
Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.

Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

6.0K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Summary

Breast implant removal is rising, with breast animation deformity (BAD) being a rare but significant concern. Muscle re-attachment is presented as a key technique for correcting persistent BAD after explantation and prior unsuccessful treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Breast implant removal is an increasingly common procedure.
  • Breast animation deformity (BAD) is an uncommon but significant complication.
  • Existing methods like split muscle techniques are not always successful in preventing or correcting BAD.

Discussion:

  • This paper addresses persistent BAD in patients who have undergone breast implant explantation.
  • Unresolved animation after multiple corrective attempts, including further muscle release, is discussed.
  • Explantation was considered a final resort for some patients.

Key Insights:

  • Muscle re-attachment is identified as a crucial element for correcting BAD.
  • Illustrative cases are presented to demonstrate the technique.
  • Technical points for successful muscle re-attachment are discussed.

Outlook:

  • Further research into optimizing muscle re-attachment techniques for BAD correction.
  • Improved patient selection for explantation and corrective procedures.
  • Potential for enhanced outcomes in managing complex cases of breast animation deformity.
