Urinary incontinence is a common condition in men and women. In fact, one-quarter to one-third of men and women in the United States have incontinence. People who have incontinence urinate even when they don’t want to. Meaning, they have no or little control of their bladder.
This can be embarrassing and significantly affect the quality of life, self-esteem, and relationships of those who have this condition. In this article, we’ll look at the causes of urinary incontinence and how EMSELLA® can treat it so you can feel confident again.

If you’re looking to improve the shape and size of your backside without silicone implants, brazilian butt lift (BBL) may be the right procedure for you. One of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the country, a BBL involves harvesting fat from elsewhere on your body then transferring that fat to your buttocks to create more fullness on your backside, adding volume, shape, and perkiness.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Using liposuction, your doctors may remove fat from donor sites of your body such as your hips, stomach, and thighs. The harvested fat is then purified and prepared for injection […]

Introduction: Despite the widespread use of opioids in pain management, there are currently no evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of postoperative pain with opioids. Although other surgical specialties have begun researching their pain prescribing patterns, there has yet to be an investigation to unravel opioid prescribing patterns among plastic surgeons.
Methods: Survey Monkey was used to sample the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) members regarding their opioid prescribing practice patterns. The survey was sent randomly to 50% of ASPS members. Respondents were randomized to 1 of 3 different common elective procedures in plastic surgery: breast augmentation, breast reduction, and abdominoplasty.
Results: Of the 5,770 […]
Breast reconstruction using a “free flap” from the patient’s abdomen is a safe procedure with a high success rate in older women opting for reconstruction after mastectomy, reports a study in the December issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons(ASPS).
Although the risk of some complications is higher, free-flap reconstruction has “generally good outcomes” in women aged 65 or older, according to the report by ASPS Member Surgeon Oren Tessler, MD, MBA, and colleagues of Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans. “Older women desire breast reconstruction after mastectomy, and should be […]
Summary: Perforator-free flaps, in autologous breast reconstruction, have expanded to exploit tissue available at smaller donor sites while retaining high success and low risk rates. Abdominal based flaps, such as the deep inferior epigastric perforator, remain the most common; however, when the abdomen is not an appropriate donor site, lower extremity flaps are options.
The profunda artery perforator has the benefit of hiding unsightly scar in the gluteal crease but has the drawback of poor donor site volume. Our mosaic fleur-de-profunda artery perforator flap technique for breast reconstruction has shown to increase volume with the addition of a vertical limb, include […]
