BACKGROUND We aimed to compare inflammatory and intercellular transcription
responses induced by surface textured (ST) implants versus foam covered (FC) silicone …

Purpose To evaluate whether silicone foam implants have a different evolution pattern
compared to conventional texture implants. Methods Fifty-eight female patients underwent …

A major complication of silicone breast implants is the formation of a capsule around the
implant known as capsular contracture which results in the distortion of the implant …

Despite their popular use in breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries, the limited
biocompatibility of silicone implants can induce severe side effects, including capsular …

Background The causes of silicone gel–filled breast implant rupture are uncertain, and little
research has been directed toward characterizing or quantifying the multiple factors that may …

Background: Silicone gel breast implants are associated with long-term adverse events,
including capsular contracture, with reported incidence rates as high as 50 percent …

Background Breast implants have always been composed of a silicone elastomer envelope
filled with either silicone gel or saline. Breast implant illness (BII) is a set of symptoms that …

This study examines the hypothesis that textured surface silicone implants reduce the
incidence of adverse capsular contracture in breast augmentation. A total of 53 patients …

Citing evidence that breast implant-related capsules resolve uneventfully, surgeons have
elected to leave the capsules in place when implants are removed because capsulectomy …

Background: Inamed introduced a fourth-generation implant, the Style 410 cohesive silicone
breast implant, in 1993. To date, little has been published on this implant despite its …
