The Effects of Botulinum Toxin Type A on the Biological Behavior of Fibroblasts on Silicone Implants.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is one of the most severe complications following breast augmentation surgery. It has been reported that botulinum toxin Type A (BTX-A) can inhibit capsular contracture, but the exact mechanisms remain uncl…

In Vivo and In Vitro Fibroblasts' Behavior and Capsular Formation in Correlation with Smooth and Textured Silicone Surfaces.
[BACKGROUND] As the most principal complication following breast augmentation with silicone breast implants, capsular contracture is greatly influenced by surface texture. However, there have long been widespread debates on the function of …

The role of postmastectomy radiation therapy in patients with immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction: A meta-analysis.
[OBJECTIVE] The controversy remains as to whether immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction with postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) is associated with acceptable complications and aesthetic outcomes. The aim of this meta-analysis was …

Biofunctionalization of silicone rubber with microgroove-patterned surface and carbon-ion implantation to enhance biocompatibility and reduce capsule formation.
[PURPOSE] Silicone rubber implants have been widely used to repair soft tissue defects and deformities. However, poor biocompatibility can elicit capsule formation, usually resulting in prosthesis contracture and displacement in long-term u…

Mechanical and biological evaluations of beta-tricalcium phosphate/silicone rubber composite as a novel soft-tissue implant.
[BACKGROUND] Although silicone rubber (SR) implants are most commonly used and effective for soft-tissue augmentation, they still have been implicated in many adverse reactions. To overcome this problem, a novel composite beta-tricalcium ph…
