The foreign body response is an immunological process that leads to the rejection of
implanted devices and presents a fundamental challenge to their performance, durability …

Capsular contracture is a common sequelae of implant-based breast augmentation. Despite
its prevalence, the etiology of capsular contracture remains controversial. Numerous studies …

Background: Biofilm infection of breast implants significantly potentiates capsular
contracture. This study investigated whether chronic biofilm infection could promote T-cell …

Background: The introduction of texture to the outer shell of breast implants was aimed at
increasing tissue incorporation and reducing capsular contracture. It has also been shown …

Background: Despite the increased understanding of surgical best practices, capsular
contracture remains the most commonly reported complication and reason for reoperation …

In this review, the authors provide a 20-year review and comparison of implant options and
describe the evolution of breast implant surface textures; compare available implant …

Background Surface texture of a breast implant influences tissue response and ultimately
device performance. Characterizing differences among available surface textures is …

Silicone breast implants are commonly used for cosmetic and oncologic surgical indications
owing to their inertness and being nontoxic. However, complications including capsular …

Purpose Increasing numbers of women undergo breast implantation for cosmetic and
reconstructive purposes. Contracture of the fibrous capsule, which encases the implant …

Modern approaches to biomaterials aim to instigate a specific tissue response to create truly
biocompatible materials. With this in mind, the responses of cells to biomimetic surface …
