Ultrasound Criteria and Baker Scale for Breast Implant Capsular Contracture Diagnosis. [PDF]
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open, 2022 Due to the subjectivity of the Baker scale in grading capsular contracture (CC), an objective and reproducible measurement tool is necessary to estimate the presence and grade of CC in patients with breast implants. This study aimed to assess the capacity of breast ultrasonography to identify CCs using the Baker grading system.This study included ...

Animal Model of Implant Capsular Contracture: Effects of Chitosan [PDF]
Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2011 The mechanism(s) responsible for breast capsular contracture (CC) remain unknown, but inflammatory pathways play a role. Various molecules have been attached to implant shells in the hope of modifying or preventing CC. The intrinsic antibacterial and antifungal activities of chitosan and related oligochitosan molecules lend themselves well to the study

Poly Implant Prothèse silicone breast implants: implant dynamics and capsular contracture [PDF]
European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2018 The Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) implants were withdrawn from the market in 2010 due to the use of low-grade silicone, causing a high risk for implant rupture. The aim of this study was to investigate the implant dynamics of PIP breast implants, as well as to determine the rate and predictors of implant gel bleeding, rupture, and capsular contracture in
