The Composition and Behavior of Capsules around Smooth and Textured Breast Implants in Pigs

Abstract: The greater incidence of capsular contracture in smooth implants was correlated with the progressive increase in total capsule thickness, due to a higher concentration of collagenous fibers, when compared with textured implants (p = 0.011; mean difference, 6.61), and a higher concentration of thick fibers (p = 0.034; average, >5.51 percentage points per field of thick fibers than the textured implants in all periods). Pigs are good animal models for studying the healing process after breast augmentation with i… Show more

“…The pseudocapsule is supposed to be thicker the stronger the inflammatory tissue reaction against to the implanted substance is. 11 Thickness tends to decrease over time, as observed in the present study, once the process of cell count decline sets in and only fibroblasts and collagen remain in its composition. There is also a contraction related to the action of myofibroblasts.…”
