Background: Breast augmentation (BA) is a very common procedure performed for a wide range of indications. The short-term and long-term outcomes are strongly correlated with the choice of the correct implant pocket, which should be tailored to the anatomic features of the breast. Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the safety and efficacy of the triple-plane technique and Bra-flap modified dual-plane techniques for BA. Methods: From January 1995 to January 2016, 605 patients underwent BA procedures that utilized the triple-plane technique or Bra-flap modified dual-plane techniques. Patient evaluation was performed preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 and 12 months and every 5 years thereafter. The occurrence of ptosis and implant malposition, as well as breast animation deformity, were assessed. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with the BREAST-Q Augmentation Module. Results: The average patient age was 39.3 years. The follow-up period ranged from 24 months to 20 years. The triple-plane technique was performed in 450 patients, the Bra-flap modified dual-plane technique in 97, and the inverted Bra-flap modified dual-plane technique in 58. No cases of double-bubble deformity or implant bottoming-out were observed. Regarding animation deformity, 209 patients presented with mild to moderate distortion, whereas no patients presented with severe distortion. The BREAST-Q questionnaire reported significant postoperative improvements in all scales. Conclusions: In over 20 years of experience, the triple-plane technique has proven to be a reliable procedure that offers natural and long-lasting results. The Bra-flap and inverted Bra-flap modified dual-plane techniques are efficient options to expand the range of breast conditions treated. Level of Evidence: 4:

Background: Osteotomy represents a crucial step in structural rhinoplasty; however, there is not a unique approach accepted. Double lateral osteotomy has proven to be effective in the long-term correction of a deviated nose. In this series, we evaluated its aesthetic value also in non-deviated cases. Materials and Methods: 864 patients who underwent primary structural rhinoplasty from 2012 to 2020 were divided into four groups. Group A and B included patients with a crooked nose treated with asymmetrical double osteotomy and bilateral double osteotomy, respectively. Patients who did not present nasal deviation were divided into group C, including cases treated with bilateral single osteotomy, and group D, including patients who underwent bilateral double osteotomy. Postoperative evaluations were performed by three independent plastic surgeons blinded to the surgical technique. Patient’s satisfaction was assessed through the FACE-Q rhinoplasty module. Results: FACE-Q scores reported a satisfaction rate higher than 30% for every item in all groups; however, group B and group D showed statistically higher satisfaction (p < 0.01). According to the evaluations performed by physicians, group B and group D showed the most satisfactory outcomes (p < 0.01). Conclusions: bilateral double osteotomies represent a significant aesthetic refinement in structural rhinoplasty, not only in crooked noses but also in non-deviated cases, since the reduction in the width of the nose is an aesthetical aspect very appreciated by patients.
