Prevention of Capsular Contracture Using Leukotriene Antagonists
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2015Capsular contracture is a common occurrence in plastic surgery, with a prevalence varying from 0.5 percent up to 30 percent. Although the standard treatment is capsulectomy, alternative treatments have been studied, such as the use of leukotriene inhibitors. These drugs have recently been evaluated in the prophylaxis of contracture.

Capsular contracture and silicone gel: Experimental study
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1992Wistar rats were used to study the effects, if any, of membrane thickness and implant volume of a silicone gel prosthesis on the development of fibrous capsule contraction.

Capsular contracture in augmentation mammaplasty.
Acta chirurgiae plasticae, 2000In a group of 331 augmentation mammaplasties performed at the Clinic of Plastic Surgery in Prague from 1994-1998, capsular contracture was recorded in 6% cosmetic and 12% of reconstruction operations. The main cause was, in particular, the quality of tissue surrounding the implants along with individual disposition.
