Effects of fibrin, thrombin, and blood on breast capsule formation in a preclinical model.
[BACKGROUND] The root cause of capsular contracture (CC) associated with breast implants is unknown. Recent evidence points to the possible role of fibrin and bacteria in CC formation. [OBJECTIVES] The authors sought to determine whether f…

Animal model of implant capsular contracture: effects of chitosan.
[BACKGROUND] The mechanism(s) responsible for breast capsular contracture (CC) remain unknown, but inflammatory pathways play a role. Various molecules have been attached to implant shells in the hope of modifying or preventing CC. The intr…

Effects of coagulase-negative staphylococci and fibrin on breast capsule formation in a rabbit model.
[BACKGROUND] The etiology and ideal clinical treatment of capsular contracture (CC) remain unresolved. Bacteria, especially coagulase-negative staphylococci, have been previously shown to accelerate the onset of CC. The role of fibrin in ca…

Long-term follow-up of breast capsule contracture rates in cosmetic and reconstructive cases.
[BACKGROUND] Silicone gel breast implants are associated with long-term adverse events, including capsular contracture, with reported incidence rates as high as 50 percent. However, it is not clear how long the follow-up period should be an…
