Pharmacological Approaches for the Prevention of Breast Implant Capsular Contracture [PDF]
Capsular contracture is a common complication associated with breast implants following reconstructive or aesthetic surgery in which a tight or constricting scar tissue capsule forms around the implant, often distorting the breast shape and resulting in chronic pain.

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 ...

Polyurethane Foam-Covered Implants and Capsular Contracture
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1990Experiments were conducted in rabbits comparing polyurethane foam-covered implants with otherwise identical smooth silicone gel implants. Using five objective methods of measurement of capsular contracture, no significant difference could be identified.

External Ultrasonic Treatment of Capsular Contractures in Breast Implants
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1997The authors report their experience on the nonsurgical treatment of capsular contractures due to breast implant augmentation mammaplasty. External ultrasonic repeated applications have been applied to 24 patients after closed capsulotomy procedures in order to reduce the recurrency rate.
