Results
Aesthetic results evaluated by the surgeons’ group reported a mean aesthetical out­come of 7.7, whereas the ones of the patients reported a mean value of 8.5.
Complications
In two cases, the aesthetic result needed a revision consisting in a fat graft in order to improve the roundness of the lower pole. In seven cases, a subcutaneous blood effusion, due to the punctures of the skin, was observed. This complication never presented as a true hematoma and therefore did not require an additional drainage. After 7–10days, it disappeared spontaneously and never led to other serious conse­quence such as skin retraction.
In two patients with darker skin (Fitzpatrick III), the small holes produced by the needle left pigmented spots that required the use of hydroquinone cream 4% for 2months and then completely disappeared.
Any serious complication such as permanent scarring or infection was observed in this series of patients.

Conclusion
Hypoplastic lower pole with a high inframammary fold and short distance from the areola can complicate an augmentation mammoplasty. This condition belongs to the great family of the tuberous breasts. A key point for a successful result is the lower­ing of the inframammary fold so that an adequate volume of the prosthesis is located below the nipple, thus avoiding a high-riding implant deformity. Many surgical techniques have been described in the past to treat these features such as the use of inferior rotation of glandular aps (Puckett and Concannon 1990) and the releasing of the supercial fascia alone or followed by fat grafting of the lower part of the breast (Servaes etal. 2010) (Oroz-Torres etal. 2014). Positioning of the new fold is determined by the position of the contralateral non-pathological side. If there is bilateral deformity, the fold is placed at a location that 55% of the breast volume is below the areola and the remaining 45% above it. Nevertheless, subcutaneous dis­section in the inferior quadrants can be difcult due to the resistance of the skin and of the underlying fascia supercialis. Regardless of the severity of the deformity and the technique adopted, placement of either breast tissue or an implant in the new fold is necessary to maintain its new location. According to Pardo, if an implant is used, the inframammary fold should be placed 2cm more inferiorly to allow for subsequent contraction (Pardo etal. 1999). In the case that the inframammary fold is adequately lowered but the constricted lower pole is not expanded, the tight crease of the original fold can indent the implant transversely, dividing it into two and creating a second “bubble” beneath the breast (double bubble deformity). Moreover, if the poorly treated constricted lower pole is combined with large breast implants, the risk of this iatrogenic deformity may increase further.
The use of big needles instead of blunt cannulas to inject fat has been rstly reported by Klinger etal. in 2008 (Klinger etal. 2008). They adopted sharp needle (18G angiographic needles) to overcome the great resistance of the brotic tissue of severe post-burn hypertrophic scars and keloids. Sharp angiographic cannulas allow performing a highly precise technique making possible to lay a constant amount of fat at the dermal-hypodermal junction. Postoperative histologic examina­tion of scar tissue showed new collagen deposition, neovascularization, and dermal hyperplasia. Clinically, the 6months follow-up demonstrated a signicant improve­ment of the skin texture, softness, and thickness. This positive effect was due to the regenerative properties of the adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) but also to the mechanical breakage of the contracted collagen bers by the sharp tip of the big needles. In another paper, the same group proved the safety of the procedure treat­ing a large series of post-burn scars with fat delivered in this way (Maione etal.
2015). Complication rate was very low and mostly related to the use of needle such
as bruising, swelling or transient numbness, hematoma, seroma, and infections. The

most feared complication was intravascular fat injection, but it was easily avoided adopting a retrograde injection method. Caviggioli etal. subsequently demonstrated the versatility of the technique extending the application of the procedure to other types of scar and brotic tissue (Caviggioli etal. 2012). Other advantages of using sharp needles are that a skin incision with a scalpel for cannula access is not needed, thus minimizing the patient discomfort and avoiding a new scars. Angiographic sharp needles are also easily available, disposable, and low-cost devices.
A similar technique to treat contracted tissue or scar in the breast has been sub­sequently described by Khouri and named “Rigottomy” after its inventor Dr. Rigotti (Khouri etal. 2014). In this article, an innovative application of the sharp needles to prepare the optimal bed for fat micrograft during autologous breast enhancement is described. Indeed, if scarred or contracted tissue is present, the use of blunt cannu­las is not able to deposit thin multiple fat layers and can lead to the formation of larger cavities that would not be a good graft to recipient interface. Exactly as in the post-burn scars, adopting sharp 18-gauge needles can break the hard brous archi­tecture of the recipient sites and allows the creation of multiple tiny nicks. These microcavities are subsequently lled by fat particles that can survive by diffusion until neovascularization occurs. Being the purpose of Rigottomy to create the opti­mal bed for the subcutaneous fat grafting, the skin does not need to be punctured several times as in the sting technique but ideally only a couple just enough to intro­duce the needle under the skin and create the many subcutaneous microcavities (subcision).
The sting technique differs from Klinger and Rigotti procedures as sharp needles are not used to create spaces for fat particles. Indeed, multiple full-thickness prick­ings are performed to break and release the cutaneous and subcutaneous (glandular and fascial) restrictions along the hypoplastic breast poles. Insertion of the implant, immediately after the pricking, maintains this tridimensional expansion until re­epithelialization completes the healing. As fat is not used, there are not the problems associated both with the difculty of harvesting enough adipose tissue in patients who often are very slim and the uncertainty and unpredictability of taking the graft (Gutierrez-Ontalvilla etal. 2020).
Complications of sting technique are rare and self-resolving as the subcutaneous blood collection or requiring a simple treatment as the long-lasting markings in darker skin. Any case of hematoma, scarring, or infection has been observed.
Hypoplastic lower breast poles can complicate the outcome of a breast augmen­tation procedure. The results obtained using the “sting technique” in this group of patients are satisfying showing the creation of a nice, round, and regular contour of the constricted inferior quadrants. Nevertheless, longer follow-up and larger series are necessary in the future to understand better the real potentialities of the sting technique in these kinds of breast malformations and the eventual applications in other populations such as male to female transgender along with its limits and risks.

Abstract Photography is the method most frequently adopted by plastic surgeons

Introduction
Photography is the method most frequently adopted by plastic surgeons for record­ing and planning surgeries. The way photographs are obtained directly affects such surgical programming, as well as the evaluation of surgical procedures (Quieregatto etal. 2014a, b, 2020a, b).
Standardization is essential for comparing pre- and postoperative photos and allows correct surgical programming (Hochman et al. 2005; Quieregatto et al.
2014a, b).
Photographic equipment has evolved from machines with a negative that pro­duced printed photographs to digital machines with image les playing the role of a negative, which has required our familiarization with this new type of device.

In addition, some factors directly interfere in photography standardization, including the patient positioning, especially stance of the arms, angulation relative to the camera, illumination, type of image le, distance between the patient and the camera, type of lens, reference sites on the patient, ruler for software calibration, and type of software used to evaluate the digital images (Quieregatto etal. 2020a, b,
2014a, b, 2015).
According to Jakowenko (2009), image capturing using a digital camera is fre­quently carelessly performed, which may lead to inaccurate results.
Hochman etal. (2005) stated that image recording for scientic research can fulll its purpose of scientic documentation, especially considering reproducibil­ity, if conducted in a systematized and standardized form.
Using photography instead of obtaining linear measures directly on the individ­ual has been considered an efcient breast evaluation method (Sacchini etal. 1991). According to Nechala etal. (1999), indirect anthropometry (evaluation of images) has advantages over direct anthropometry (measurement directly on the patient) such as minimized measurement errors, millimetric precision, possible measure­ments over time, comparison between pre- and postoperative periods, reduced dis­comfort to the patient, and shorter exposure for measurements.
The photographic records routinely used in our clinic differ from those for scien­tic documentation, considering that a detailed scientic analysis requires absolute numbers for millimetric comparison. A comparative analysis using pre- and postop­erative photos not always needs to be millimetric. Such a difference must be under­stood since, in case a comparison of measures is necessary, adhesive labels at specic sites and a ruler for software calibration must be employed during measure­ments (Quieregatto etal. 2020a, b, 2014a, b).
In the current study, considering the differences between segments, a standard­ization technique was developed for breast photographs, which allows subsequent analysis of the obtained images in a scientic and objective manner. Such standard­ization will be exemplied here.

Photographic Standardization
Standardization ofPatient Positioning
A template made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) was employed to standardize at 30cm the distance between the medial edges of the feet and at 70cm the distance between the volunteer and the background. The distance between the volunteer and the lens is 2.5m (Fig.21.1).
The patients were instructed to remain in anatomical position with eyes looking straight ahead (Frankfurt plane) while photographs were taken.

Framing andDelimiting Anthropometric andAnatomical Points
The mammary region was delimited by the gnathion transversal line on the top and by the navel inferior edge on the bottom (Fig.21.2). The frontal plane was chosen for allowing evaluation of different types of breasts, regardless of their base width and lateral extension. Photos in oblique and lateral planes show some limitations, as described by Quieregatto etal. (2014a, b) (Fig.21.3).

Adhesive labels of 0.6cm diameter were used to evidence the central point. Eight points per hemibody were labeled, of which ve are anthropometric: center of the jugular notch (IJ) and bottom of the xiphoid process (Xi), unilaterally, and cen­ter of the mammary papilla (PAP), acromion (Ac), and anterior projection of the lateral epicondyle (EpL), bilaterally. Other three anatomical points were adopted bilaterally: the point corresponding to half the distance between the center of the jugular notch and the acromion, named “x” point of the clavicle (xCl), the proximal point of the anterior axillary line (Ax), and the point corresponding to half the dis­tance between the acromion and the lateral epicondyle, named mean point of the humerus (1/2Um) (Fig.21.2).
Joining one point to the other results in 15 line segments (Table21.1).
