Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of breast reconstruction is constantly evolving, aiming to enhance patient experience and achieve optimal results. In today's healthcare landscape, informed patients are seeking the best clinical outcomes, leading to a growing demand for breast reconstruction procedures. Regulatory scrutiny of implantable devices used in these procedures places a significant responsibility on plastic surgeons to gather and assess data rigorously, ensuring high-quality care and continued access to advanced resources. Plastic surgeons are dedicated to improving patient access to breast reconstruction by streamlining processes, managing costs efficiently and prioritizing patient satisfaction.
This issue focuses on the changing landscape of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
