Comparison of Formation of Capsule Among Different Breast Silicone Implants. [PDF]
In Vivo, 2022 Background/Aim: Silicone implants are widely used biomaterials in surgeries owing to their physiological inertness and low toxicity. However, capsular contracture is a severe complication caused by the insertion of breast implants, which can endanger the

Silicone Implants Immobilized with Interleukin-4 Promote the M2 Polarization of Macrophages and Inhibit the Formation of Fibrous Capsules. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2021 Breast augmentations with silicone implants can have adverse effects on tissues that, in turn, lead to capsular contracture (CC). One of the potential ways of overcoming CC is to control the implant/host interaction using immunomodulatory agents ...

A Rare Complication of Silicone Breast Implant Rupture
Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2023 Rupture of silicone breast implants is common with the time spent in situ but often goes undetected. We encountered a 55-year-old woman who presented with symptoms attributable to hypercalcemia after undergoing the removal of ruptured silicone breast ...
