Breast augmentation: Part II – adverse capsular contracture
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2010Although adverse capsular contracture (ACC) following breast augmentation remains an enigmatic phenomenon, significant progress has been made in diminishing its occurrence during the previous surgical generation. Given the rising global frequency of breast augmentation, however, ACC is likely to be with us for the foreseeable future and an ...

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 ...

Endoscopic Transaxillary Capsular Contracture Treatment
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007Traditionally, breast implant extraction and capsular contracture treatment are performed using the transareolar approach. However, this approach is not acceptable to Chinese patients because of the additional scar formation. The authors present their experience using capsular contracture treatment using transaxillary endoscopic assistance without 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.

Myofibroblasts and Capsular Tissue Tension in Breast Capsular Contracture
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2010This study aimed to observe the relationship between the number of myofibroblasts, the tensile strength of the breast implant capsule, and the degree of breast capsular contracture.The study enrolled 21 women with 31 capsular contractures after aesthetic breast augmentation.

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 ...

Treatment of subglandular capsular contracture
Operative Techniques in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2000Capsular contracture remains one of the most difficult problems associated with augmentation mammaplasty and is a leading cause of reoperation and patient dissatisfaction. This article outlines several variables that may contribute to development of grades III and IV contractures.
