Silicone implants have been used for breast augmentation for more than 45 years.
Complications, in particular capsular contracture, occur with an incidence of< 10% and up to …

Results All capsules showed the same basic histological structure with a three-layer
composition. For the correlation analysis we had to exclude one patient with repeated …

Abstract Background/Aim: Silicone implants are widely used biomaterials in surgeries owing
to their physiological inertness and low toxicity. However, capsular contracture is a severe …

Background Silicone implants have been used in breast augmentation for more than 45
years. Complications, in particular, capsular contracture, still occur with a high incidence …

Silicone implants are frequently used for breast augmentation and reconstruction. However,
late complication, such as capsular contracture, remain the most important side effect. In this …

Background: A study was performed to investigate histological changes in capsules formed
around silicone breast implants and their correlation with the clinical classification of …

Background Capsular contracture remains a hitherto unsolved complication after
implantation of silicone gel-filled breast prostheses. Based on clinical and experimental …

Background: A study was undertaken to investigate long-term histological changes in the
environment of breast implants and their correlation with complains at the time of capsular …

The earliest silicone breast implants were smooth-surface, silicone rubber devices filled with
either silicone gel or saline. Because of persistent problems with capsular contracture …

Previous studies on the interaction of textured silicone breast implants has analyzed tissue
expanders or used animal models. To date, the data on long-term results of the textured …
