Measurement of Capsular Contracture

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1989
At 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 ...

External Ultrasonic Treatment of Capsular Contractures in Breast Implants

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1997
The 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.

Pirfenidone Prevents Capsular Contracture After Mammary Implantation

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2007
Pirfenidone (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 ...
