ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the psychology of patients undergoing breast augmentation, and to provide reference for preoperative communication between clinicians and patients.Methods:From September 2016 to September 2017, the Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital formulated a 37-question questionnaire based on BREAST-Q and Chinese national conditions, and investigated patients who planned to undergo breast augmentation in 34 hospitals.Results:A total of 2066 valid questionnaires were collected. Fifty-four percent of women were dissatisfied with their nude appearance, which was more dissatisfied compared with their appearance when dressed. Surgical safety (20.1%), surgical effect (16.8%), surgical method and incision selection (16.5%), breast implant material (14.5%) and doctor′s skill (11.6%) were the five most important factors for considering breast augmentation. Only 26.6% of the respondents were supported by their family members or partners when they made the decision to have breast augmentation. Most women had limited knowledge of breast augmentation, with only 24.9 percent of respondents having a thorough understanding of the procedure.Conclusions:Women undergoing breast augmentation have an urgent need to improve their appearance, and their decision-making process is affected by many factors, among which surgical safety is the most worrying factor for patients. This group of people have limited knowledge about surgery, and the popularization of breast augmentation by plastic surgeons remains to be strengthened.
ABSTRACT
Medical photography is an important diagnostic logging tool, since it allows pre-and postoperative comparisons to be made and it disseminates knowledge to the scientific community. The evolution of digital imaging has made the use of cameras easier and has increased access to better quality equipment. Photography is an essential tool in dermatologists' and plastic surgeons' practices. Breast surgeons' recent acquisition of oncoplastic surgical techniques, reconstructive and breast remodeling surgery has led to the need for photographic records in the area. This photographic registration reproduces reality with maximum details and relevant information, as it follows a standardized way of positioning, backgrounds and photographic angles. This study aims to recommend the most appropriate camera, conduct basic equipment adjustments and standardize photographic records of patients undergoing reconstructive and oncoplastic breast surgery. A literature review was conducted in the Cochrane Library, Scielo Brazil, PubMed and Google.
A fotografia médica é uma importante ferramenta de registro, permitindo a comparação pré e pós-operatória, bem como a transmissão de experiência à comunidade científica. A evolução da fotografia digital facilitou o uso de câmeras fotográficas e favoreceu o acesso a equipamentos de melhor qualidade. Os dermatologistas e cirurgiões plásticos tradicionalmente utilizam a fotografia na prática clínica diária. Com a recente incorporação de técnicas cirúrgicas de oncoplastia, cirurgia reconstrutiva e remodelamento mamário, constata-se a importância da prática do registro fotográfico na mastologia. Esse registro deve reproduzir a realidade com o máximo de detalhes e informações relevantes, seguindo a padronização de posições, fundo e ângulos fotográficos. Este estudo visa sugerir a escolha da câmera fotográfica, orientar regulagens básicas do equipamento e padronizar o registro fotográfico das pacientes que serão submetidas à cirurgia oncoplástica e reconstrutiva da mama. Foi realizada revisão bibliográfica na Cochrane, Scielo Brasil, PubMed e Google.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore clinical effect of Dermatix Ultra on repair of scar tissue in patients after breast plastic surgery .Methods 66 patients with breast conserving surgery after breast conserving surgery were selected and divided into two groups.32 cases in the control group were treated with the implementation of breast conserving surgery and breast plastic surgery , 34 cases in the treatment group were treated on the basis of the control group and combined with Dermatix Ultra.Evaluation of patient and observer scar assessment scale ( POSAS ) and visual analogue scale were compared after the treatment and satisfaction degree were compared after 6 months follow-up.Results Compared with the control group, scar evaluation in treatment group were higher(P<0.05), the color, thickness, the degree of pigmentation and the score of the pigment were higher (P<0.05), the color, softness, thickness, pain and itching were higher (P<0.05), and the patients were followed up for 6 months (P<0.05).The color, thickness, roughness and pigmentation score of OSAS in the treatment group were higher (P<0.05), Color, softness, thickness, pain and pruritus in PSAS were higher (P<0.05),after 6 months of follow-up, the satisfaction rate in patients was higher (P<0.05).Conclusion Dermatix Ultra has a good clinical effect in repair of scar tissue after the breast plastic surgery, improve the color, thickness, smoothness and pigmentation of patients after breast augmentation surgery, and improve the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
From 1996 to 2002, 72 female patients aged 10-42 years old with breast abnormalities were operated by various techniques (Z plasty, skin graft, local flap, musculocutaneous pedical flap, breast implant and tissue expansion). Results showed that plastic surgeries were applied more and more to response to the patient’s requests of aesthetics and functions. In mammaplasty, the first is aesthetic, therefore surgeons had to know many techniques and sensitize with each case
