Pirfenidone Prevents Capsular Contracture After Mammary Implantation
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007Pirfenidone (PFD), a new antifibrotic and antiinflammatory agent, prevents and resolves fibrous tissue. This study evaluated the effect of PFD on adverse events in mammary implants using an animal model. Mammary implantation, the most frequent aesthetic surgery, may present several complications after surgery such as swelling, capsule contracture ...

Capsular Contracture and Ripple Deformity of Breast Implants
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1996Our surgical understanding and preference for an implant design suggests that location of the implant in the retromuscular plane gives an aesthetically better looking clinical result, there is less rippling when the chest wall is vertical, and the implant flattens when the patient is lying supine.

Correction of established capsular contractures with polyurethane implants
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1989Twelve patients with severe and recurrent capsular contractures following breast augmentation and reconstruction were improved with polyurethane-covered implants. It still has not been established whether these implants prevent or merely delay the onset of contractures, but some of these patients have been followed for over three years and all 12 were ...

Capsular Contracture After Cosmetic Breast Implant Surgery in Denmark
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2001The authors investigated the association between the occurrence of capsular contracture and implant and patient characteristics. All women with breast implants from 1977 to 1997 were identified from the files of two private plastic surgery clinics in Denmark.

Breast implants Methods for reducing capsular contracture
European Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1990The aim of the paper is to establish a method of breast augmentation which will reduce capsular contracture. Since the causation of capsule contracture is probably multifactorial, a regime of pocket irrigation, prolonged drainage, a double lumen prosthesis and massage is advocated.

Role of Biofilms in Breast Implant Associated Infections and Capsular Contracture
2014Breast implants are used for cosmetic breast enlargement, correction of asymmetries and congenital defects and for reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer or cancer risk reduction. Breast implant associated complications still represent a significant challenge for clinicians and have a significant negative impact on patient satisfaction ...

Inflammatory Reaction and Capsular Contracture Around Smooth Silicone Implants
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1997Histologic studies were performed on capsular tissue resected from 21 patients who were implanted with smooth silicone prostheses filled with gel. The results disclosed a nonuniform response to the implants. The granulomatous reaction to the silicone showed important variations along the same surface of the implants, between the plane and the concave ...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1993
Recent media attention has transformed breast augmentation, a routine surgical procedure, into a highly controversial one. Capsular contracture is cited in both the lay press and scientific literature as the most frequent complication of breast augmentation. This retrospective study compares two similar groups of breast augmentation patients. The first
