e awareness, and timely access to tertiary cancer centers for diagnosis and treatment. Brands other than Allergan and Mentor were found to be associated with BIA-ALCL in our study.
Colombia has one of the highest volumes of breast surgery and use of textured surface breast implants in the world. This study is the initial report of an implant registry in South America. A high proportion of advanced disease may be a consequence of delayed presentation, lack of disease awareness, and timely access to tertiary cancer centers for diagnosis and treatment. Brands other than Allergan and Mentor were found to be associated with BIA-ALCL in our study.Skin cancer incidence has been rapidly increasing over the past 2 decades, and the resulting defects from excision have significant aesthetic and functional implications. In particular, wound coverage for large scalp and forehead defects with calvarial exposure can lead to hairline distortion, contour irregularities, and alopecia. We describe a 2-stage technique for scalp reconstruction, which preserves the normal hairline, covers exposed bone with vascularized tissue, and restores an aesthetic soft-tissue contour.
This is a retrospective case series of 13 adults with ages ranging from 50 to 89 years. All patients underwent Mohs surgery on the forehead or scalp between July 2014 and April 2017. Patients underwent a 2-staged reconstruction with an initial pericranial flap and dermal substitute placement followed by the placement of a split-thickness skin graft within 4-6 weeks.
Over a 3-year period, 13 patients had successful reconstruction of the scalp defect without alteration of the hairline or contour irregularity. Two patients had minor complications after the first-stage procedure with successful aesthetic reconstruction.
Full-thickness defects of the scalp and forehead with bone exposure provide a reconstructive challenge for plastic surgeons. Reconstructive algorithms continue to evolve and should be tailored to best suit patients' needs and medial comorbidities. Two-staged reconstruction with local pericranial flap provides a safe and efficacious reconstruction that minimizes hairline distortion, contour irregularity, and donor site morbidity.

Graft processing is implicated as one of the variable factors affecting quality, viability, and subsequent graft survival. This study analyzed the in vitro physical and biologic characteristics of lipoaspirate processed using different techniques.
Fresh lipoaspirates from patients with informed consent were processed by 4 methods decantation, centrifugation, the REVOLVE System, and PureGraft. Processed fat grafts were analyzed for yield, composition, tissue particle size and morphology, and viability and function of adipocytes and stem cells. Fat tissue harvested from waste containers of REVOLVE and PureGraft and trapped on REVOLVE paddles was also evaluated.
Grafts produced by the filtration systems contained the highest percentage of fat tissue, whereas those from decantation contained the lowest percentage, although they have the highest volume yield. AZ191 cell line In addition, grafts from REVOLVE and PureGraft showed more large-sized particles (>1000 μm) than those from decantation or centrifugation. REVOLVE also preserved significantly higher populations of viable and functional adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction cells when compared with other processing methods. Tissue particles in waste containers of REVOLVE and PureGraft were mostly (>85%) <300 μm and demonstrated a minimal number of viable adipocytes and stem cells. Fat tissues trapped on REVOLVE paddles contained a higher percentage of noninjectable and fibrous collagen bundles.
Different processing methods result in fat grafts with varying physical and biologic properties, which may contribute to fat graft viability and retention in vivo.

Hydroxyapatite cranioplasty is a successful technique for optimizing the aesthetic outcome in these patients. We describe a simple technique that can be carried out at the bedside to calculate the volume of hydroxyapatite needed and therefore optimize the preoperative planning for hydroxyapatite cranioplasty.Gender diverse people are increasingly pursuing gender-affirming surgery, but little is known about their experiences on accessing care. As part of the baseline assessment for an ongoing longitudinal study, we examined the types of barriers and self-reported out-of-pocket costs associated with gender-affirming surgery most commonly endorsed by transmasculine chest (top) and genital (bottom) surgery patients at their initial surgical consultation.
A brief survey was administered to a clinical sample of transmasculine patients (n = 160; age ≥15 years) seeking a gender-affirming surgery at the Center for Gender Surgery in Boston, Mass. from April 2018 to February 2020.
The barriers most commonly endorsed by top surgery patients were insurance coverage and age. For bottom surgery patients, the most commonly endorsed barriers were getting mental health letters and readiness for surgery. Bottom surgery patients were also more likely to report barriers of readiness for surgery and cost of/access to hair removal, than top surgery patients (
s < 0.05). Bottom surgery patients were more likely to report out-of-pocket costs related to hair removal, surgical consultation, and surgery (
0.05), whereas top surgery patients were more likely to report hormone treatment costs (
= 0.01). Average out-of-pocket costs were high (mean = 2148.31) and significantly higher for bottom surgery patients (
= 4140.30;
= 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 3064.6-5216.0).
Transmasculine patients experience a variety of barriers when seeking gender-affirming surgery. Presurgical requirements, insurance access, and high out-of-pocket costs may hinder access to care for many transmasculine people seeking bottom surgery.
