Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1999
The etiology of capsular contracture is unclear and probably multifactorial. This review covers the literature on several proposed contracture factors, including filler material, implant placement, surface texture, and bacterial infection. The pilot study's goal was to test the feasibility of a data collection form, which could be used in a scaled-up ...

Relationship of Incision Choice to Capsular Contracture
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007Capsular contracture can be an ongoing problem in breast augmentation even with good surgical technique. In the author's practice, a higher incidence of capsular contracture was observed with the use of a periareolar incision than with an inframammary incision.A review of breast augmentations performed from November 2004 through June 2006 was conducted.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1986
In a prospective, random, double-blind, and concurrently controlled clinical study of 124 patients having augmentation mammaplasty, using multiple independent subjective judges as well as objective compressibility measurements, the use of a variety of local antibacterials in or around inflatable retromammary prosthetic implants reduced the early ...

Effects of Zafirlukast on Capsular Contracture: Controlled Study Measuring the Mammary Compliance
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2007 Capsular contracture is a highly distressing, difficult complication after breast augmentation for both the patient and the surgeon. Although capsular contracture is a multifactorial process, one common denominator in the successful treatment of this ...

Capsular Contractures: A Systematic Review
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2009The aim of this article was to review the current literature on capsular contractures, focusing in particular on the epidemiology, risk factors, cause, and treatment modalities, to provide the plastic surgeon with an up-to-date review of the current available evidence.A literature search was undertaken of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central ...

Posterior Capsular Contracture of the Shoulder
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2006Posterior capsular contracture is a common cause of shoulder pain in which the patient presents with restricted internal rotation and reproduction of pain. Increased anterosuperior translation of the humeral head occurs with forward flexion and can mimic the pain reported with impingement syndrome; however, the patient with impingement syndrome ...

Measurement of Capsular Contracture
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1989At present, there is no accurate, reliable method of experimentally measuring capsular contracture. This study had four goals: (1) to define the parameters of capsular contracture employing principles of biomechanics of soft tissues, (2) to develop laboratory techniques to measure the parameters, (3) to design an implant that mechanically impedes the ...

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2004
Capsular contracture, constrictive tightening of scar tissue around implants, was historically the primary reason for reoperating breast-implanted women. Yet, capsular contracture remains of unknown etiology. Contamination with foreign material is one of several suspected causes. Talc, a known fibrogenic agent, was recently found in peri-implant scars.

Silicone Leakage From Breast Implants and Its Association With Capsular Contracture in 657 Patients
Aesthetic Surgery JournalBackground: Capsular contracture is a common complication following breast reconstruction and augmentation, but there is limited evidence for the association between silicone leaking from the implant and capsular contracture. Objectives: To determine the
