High-Resolution Ultrasound in the Detection of Silicone Gel Breast Implant Shell Failure: Background, In Vitro Studies, and Early Clinical Results
Bradley P. Bengtson, MD, FACS; and Felmont F. Eaves III, MD, FACSRecent advancements in ultrasound technology have led to the development of high resolution devices with the potential to accurately image breast implants and breast tissues. In a preliminary study, the authors evaluated the feasibility of portable, surgeon-performed high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) for imaging of silicone gel breast implants and performed preliminary comparisons of HRUS to MRI in the assessment of both intact and failed implants in a clinical setting. This series of seven videos demonstrates various radiological and surgical findings.
The PAM Method—Periareolar Augmentation Mastopexy: A Personal Approach to Treat Hypoplastic Breast With Moderate Ptosis
Raul Gonzalez, MD
The author demonstrates his periareolar augmentation mastopexy (PAM) technique, which is a systematic approach of breast augmentation and lifting through a circumareolar incision, by means of a vertical or T-plication on the lower pole of the breast.

We are proud to announce that Aesthetic Surgery Journal has been accepted by Thomson Reuters for inclusion in their Science Citation Information Expanded (SCIE) and Journal Citation Report (JCR) editions, beginning with the 2009 issues. This type of indexing is commonly referred to as ISI (or Institute for Scientific Information) indexing and is the service that assigns journals an impact factor.
ASJ Welcomes Three New International Affiliate Societies
As of December 2011, Aesthetic Surgery Journal is proud to announce the addition of the Hellenic Society of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, the Panamanian Association of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, and the Italian Association for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to our esteemed list of affiliate societies for which ASJ is the official English-language journal.
Aesthetic Surgery Journal is pleased to announce a new partnership with TouchMD, an interactive preoperative consultation tool for educating patients in the exam room.
ASJ now includes "quick response" (or QR) codes with every article that has a technique video. They are printed at the bottom of the article's first page. QR codes are two-dimensional bar codes that can be read by QR code readers or smart phones. When you scan these codes, they take you directly to the video online (through ASJ's YouTube page).
