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 ...
