A bibliometric and visualized study on global trends of breast augmentation complications, 2011-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women undergo breast augmentation surgery for a variety of reasons, but surgical complications can seriously affect patient outcomes and quality of life, making it a hot research topic. Although a large body of literature exists in this field, a lack of systemic generalization hinders the ability to guide clinical practice. We aimed to identify the current research hotspots and common surgical approaches of breast augmentation and to predict future research hotspots by analyzing the literature of the past 10 years.

Methods

All relevant literature on breast augmentation complications were screened in the Web of Science (WoS) platform from 2011 to 2021. We analyzed the research within this field using the software programs VOSviewer and CiteSpace.
