03/01/2002 - "After successfully treating breast implant capsular contracture with ultrasound, the author asks, "If it is demonstrated that ultrasound is effective for treating already existing contractures, could it be also effective in preventing them?" Here he presents his protocol and preliminary results of prophylactic application of ultrasound for the avoidance of capsular contractures. "
01/01/2010 - "In mastectomized patients who received radiotherapy, fat grafting in addition to traditional tissue expander and implant breast reconstruction achieves better reconstructive outcomes with the creation of new subcutaneous tissue, accompanied by improved skin quality of the reconstructed breast without capsular contracture."
06/01/2006 - "Numerous randomized controlled trials addressing the efficacy of textured surface breast implants in reducing capsular contracture have yielded nonuniform results. "
10/01/2023 - "This study shows the relevance of the breast implant surface on the definitive capsules' development, since this is one of the most differentiated factors that determine the incidence of capsular contracture and probably other diseases like BIA-ALCL. "
02/27/2023 - "Although the majority of the studies in the current literature suggest the distinction of the Motiva SilkSurface breast implants in terms of postoperative complications and capsular contracture, its safety and feasibility need to be further elucidated with well-designed, large-scale, multicenter, prospective case-control studies.
