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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Postirradiation Capsular Contracture in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: Management and Outcome
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2020Background: Implant-based breast reconstruction is commonly avoided in the setting of radiation therapy, mainly because of risks of capsular contracture. Nevertheless, as breast reconstruction is becoming more available, more patients undergo both implant-based breast reconstruction and radiotherapy.

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

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 ...
