Prospective study comparing two brands of cohesive gel breast implants with anatomic shape: 5-year follow-up evaluation.
[BACKGROUND] The new generation of breast implants has an anatomic shape. These implants are made with a textured shell and filled with a cohesive silicone gel. Available since 1993 except in the United States, these implants are gaining in…

Objective evaluation of two differently-shaped permanent expander prostheses used for breast reconstruction.
When a breast is being reconstructed with an implant, a capsule of connective tissue always forms around the implant and a capsular contracture can develop. Radiotherapy increases the incidence of capsular contracture. To evaluate the resul…

Technical aspects of immediate breast reconstruction--two year follow-up of 100 patients treated consecutively.
We report the technical aspects of immediate breast reconstruction of the first 100 consecutive patients done at the Karolinska Hospital. Two patients had bilateral cancer. Preoperative chemotherapy had been given to five patients and posto…

Low capsular contraction rate after primary and secondary breast reconstruction with a textured expander prosthesis.
The expander prosthesis has the advantage over the temporary expander of being permanent and thus does not require an operation when the implant has to be exchanged for a permanent prosthesis. Forty-nine women who had had either primary or …

Textured or smooth implants for submuscular breast augmentation: a controlled study.
Capsular contracture consistently has been the most frequently noted complication of submuscular and subglandular breast augmentation. The etiology of this complication is still unknown, although silicone bleed, hematoma, infection, foreign…

Breast reconstruction using tissue expansion.
To assess the advantages of tissue expansion as a method of breast reconstruction, a prospective, consecutive study was carried out in 41 women who had undergone mastectomy. The expander was positioned in the submuscular plane and expanded …

Capsular contracture after breast reconstruction with silicone-gel and saline-filled implants: a 6-year follow-up.
A major problem after breast reconstruction with augmentation mammaplasty is contracture of the fibrous capsule around the prosthesis. In a series of 72 breasts in 65 women, silicone-gel and saline-filled implants were randomly selected pri…

Preoperative antibiotics and capsular contracture in augmentation mammaplasty.
The main drawback with augmentation mammaplasty using implants is capsular contracture. The cause of this complication is still unknown. Silicone particles, hematoma, and bacterial contamination are some of the etiologic factors discussed. …

Results of subglandular breast augmentation using a new classification method--18-year follow-up.
The main problem after augmentation mammaplasty is the formation of capsular contractures. The frequency of this complication varies in different reports. In this study the results in 60 women 15-21 years after subglandular breast augmentat…

Adrenergic nerves and the delay phenomenon.
The present study indicates that adrenergic nerves can in part explain the delay phenomenon. Data presented suggest that degeneration in release of norepinephrine might be deleterious to critical parts of a skin flap. This could be avoided …
