چکیده
DESCRIPTION Capsular contracture is a common complication following breast augmentation. Although the etiology is unknown, it is hypothesized that subclinical infection contributes to the process. Surgical treatment strategies must take this into account to avoid recurrence.

Influence of patient age on capsular contracture after aesthetic breast augmentation.
The influence of age on capsular contracture rates remains unclear. Most studies have only investigated early capsule development and not whether a link between age at primary surgery and the later development of capsular fibrosis exists. To clarify whether patient age impacts the development of late capsular fibrosis, the authors conducted a retrospective case study involving 43 patients who p...
متن کاملThe effect of zafirlukast (Accolate) on early capsular contracture in the primary augmentation patient: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND The development of capsular contracture following breast augmentation presents a challenge to the plastic surgeon. Treatment of capsular contracture with the leukotriene antagonist zafirlukast (Accolate, AstraZeneca, Wayne, PA) has received much attention in the media; however, there is limited proof of its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to prospectively exa...
متن کاملBreast Massage, Implant Displacement, and Prevention of Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation With Implants: A Review of the Literature
Objective: Capsular contracture, the most common complication following breast augmentation with implants, is a complex inflammatory reaction that ultimately leads to fibrosis at the contact site between the implant and tissue. A number of peri-, pre-, and postoperative techniques have been postulated and implemented by many surgeons to reduce the incidence of capsular contracture. Breast massa...
متن کاملCase of late hematoma after breast augmentation
We present a case report of a patient who experienced a late, spontaneous breast hematoma 26 years after primary breast augmentation. Late hematomas are a rare complication of breast augmentation with uncertain etiology. In this case, there was no trauma, calcifications, or implant rupture. We believe the patient's hematoma was secondary to erosion of a capsular vessel due to capsular contracture.
