Abstract

Breast reconstruction is highly complex, requiring navigation of not only clinical and operative realities, but of patient expectations as well. The authors sought to identify historical art pieces that exhibit breast asymmetries and deformities for comparison with photographs of breast reconstruction patients seen at the clinic of the senior author (S.O.P.) to demonstrate that achievement of perfect breast cosmesis is challenging in both breast reconstruction and in the classical arts. Open access libraries and Creative Commons images were reviewed to identify appropriate works of art from various time periods and geographic locations. Following artwork selection, photographs of breast reconstruction patients were reviewed and paired with selected artworks exhibiting cosmetically similar breasts. A total of 8 pieces of selected historic art were found to have at least 1 matching patient photograph, with 9 correlative patient photographs ultimately chosen. Common breast asymmetries and deformities identified included ptosis, asymmetric chest wall placement, asymmetric nipple placement, and absence of the nipple. This review identified diverse artworks of varying styles spanning vast expanses of both geography and time that exhibited breast deformities and asymmetries commonly encountered in patients seeking revision of breast reconstruction. This underscores that creating the cosmetically ideal breast is difficult both in the operating room and the art studio. Importantly, the authors emphasized that the arts frequently celebrate that which is considered beautiful, although to the trained eye of a plastic surgeon that which is considered beautiful is often classified as dysmorphic or asymmetric.

Abstract

Introduction: Autologous breast reconstruction remains a popular surgical option following mastectomy; however, it is not without complications. Preoperative CT angiograms (CTAs) are often obtained for surgical planning, and morphometric data such as fat and muscle distribution can be measured. This study aimed to assess if CTA morphometric data predicts abdominal donor site complications in patients undergoing abdominally based autologous breast reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed for patients who underwent abdominally based autologous breast reconstruction from 2013 to 2018. Along with population and operative characteristics, preoperative morphometric variables were assessed for the following: subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue, skeletal muscle area and index, rectus and psoas cross-sectional area, and bone density. Statistical comparison to abdominal donor site complications was performed using logistic regression analysis for every 100-unit change. Results: A total of 174 patients were included in this study. Visceral adipose tissue was significantly associated with the development of infection ( P  = .005), epidermolysis ( P  = .031), and seroma ( P  = .04). Subcutaneous adipose tissue, skeletal muscle index, cross-sectional muscle area, and bone density were not associated with abdominal donor site complications. Obesity ( P  = .024), history of smoking ( P  = .049), and the number of perforators harvested ( P  = .035) significantly increased the likelihood of delayed abdominal healing. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that increased visceral adipose tissue, as measured by CTA, is significantly associated with an increased risk of abdominal donor site complications. CTA morphometric data and identifying high-risk patient characteristics can help guide preoperative counseling and better inform surgical risks., Competing Interests: The author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article., (© 2022 The Author(s).)
