“…[1][2][3] In case of capsular contracture, the indication for revision surgery is usually given from Baker stages III/IV, whereby the incidence for capsular fibrosis of this degree is stated between 3.6% and 10.8% 4,5 after 10 years. The development of capsular contracture is subject to a multifactorial process that is influenced by numerous risk factors such as the implant, position, patient age, [6][7][8][9] or peri-and postoperative complications (eg seroma, hematoma, infection). 10,11 Overall, fibrosis, including capsular fibrosis, is characterized by a largely nonspecific tissue reaction in which activated fibroblasts increasingly produce interstitial connective tissue, which results in scarred changes that can lead to impairment or loss of organ function in the advanced stage.…”
