pubmed:abstractText |
The incidence of capsular contracture is reduced when smooth-surfaced, saline-filled implants are placed subpectorally, avoiding contamination and the presence of blood. In addition, since the authors began using compression, they have not had one single capsular contracture requiring surgery. The authors' technique, their preoperative and postoperative regimens, an explanation of how they use compression, and the scientific and mathematical explanation of why compression could be the most important factor in preventing capsular compression are described. Of more than 1700 augmentations performed in our private clinic, only 830 could be included in the study. The patients were followed clinically for 1 year, after which time they completed a questionnaire, the results of which showed the authors that capsular contracture had not developed.
