[OBJECTIVE] To explore the use of triamcinolone acetonide for the prevention of implant capsular contracture. [METHODS] 20 rabbits were randomly undivided into 2 groups of 10 animals each. Every 10 ml silicone implant was implanted beneath…

[BACKGROUND] Although silicone breast implants are well tolerated, local complications such as capsular contracture occur because of insufficient integration with surrounding tissues. In this study, cell behaviour on hydrophilized silicone …

[BACKGROUND] Breast reconstruction after mastectomy represents an improvement in the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Radiotherapy is also suggested for many of them to prevent local relapse. However, irradiation increases the ris…

Epidemiologic evidence does not support an association between silicone breast implants and connective tissue or other rheumatic diseases. However, a recent study has suggested that women with ruptured implants may be at increased risk of d…

Fifty-four patients were studied a mean of five years after their breasts had been reconstructed between 1984 and 1990 using the lateral thoracodorsal (LTD) flap in combination with either a thin shell, non-low-bleed (n = 35) or a thick she…

The objective of this study was to determine whether the type of capsulectomy, anterior or total, affects the recurrence of capsular contracture around subglandular silicone-gel breast implants. A retrospective analysis was performed of pat…

Despite numerous studies advocating ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of women with possible silicone breast implant rupture, an appropriate algorithm has not been published for the optimal use of these …

The silicone breast implant controversy rages on. Recent work has demonstrated that normal or baseline breast tissue silicon levels in women who had had no prior exposure to any type of breast implant may be as high as 446 microg/gm of tiss…

[BACKGROUND] Concerns regarding the safety of silicone gel breast implants have motivated many patients with complications from their silicone breast implants to search for alternatives for breast reconstruction. Although autogenous tissue …

Of the potential health risks of silicone breast implants it is the concern about implant durability, life span and the possible association with connective tissue disease which has attracted most attention. A prospective study addressing t…

Capsular contracture remains the major complication of reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if a silicone implant with a textured surface will form a capsule of significantly differ…

In order to reexamine the possible association between bacterial presence and capsular contracture, 55 silicone devices (mammary implants or tissue expanders) were cultured at the time of their removal from 40 patients. Special culture tech…

Surgical augmentation of the female breast has become a well-accepted and frequently performed operation since the introduction of the Cronin Silastic mammary prosthesis in 1963. A sleeve of scar tissue (collagenous capsule) consistently de…

For asymptomatic patients with saline implants, no imaging is recommended. If there is suspected saline implant rupture, ultrasound is usually appropriate, though saline implant rupture is often clinically evident. For asymptomatic patients…

Macrotextured silicone breast implants are associated with several complications, ranging from seromas and hematomas to the formation of a rare type of lymphoma, known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). …

When a delayed seroma with a low volume is detected more than 1 year after silicone breast implant insertion, aspiration is necessary. However, if the seroma is small and difficult to collect, we may avoid puncturing it, considering the ris…

[BACKGROUND] Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare malignancy. Many cases of BIA-ALCL are identified based on the presence of late-onset effusion and/or masses. Importantly, the United States Food and…

This document discusses the appropriate initial imaging in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with breast implants. For asymptomatic patients with saline implants, no imaging is recommended. If concern for rupture exists, ultrasound…

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare peripheral T-cell lymphoma composed of anaplastic pleomorphic T cells. The first case was reported in 1997 but was not recognized until 2016 by the World Health O…

Breast implant associated-anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) has become a hot topic in recent plastic surgery and oncology forum. Its cases have been on the rise since its first emergence more than two decades ago. This condition is …
