The Breast: VOLUME 54, P127-132, DECEMBER

Capsular contracture (CC) is the most common complication
following Immediate Breast Reconstruction (IBR) with breast implants. Different
implant surfaces were developed aiming to reduce the incidence of CC. We
evaluated the incidence and degree of CC after Direct-to-Implant (DTI) IBR with
insertion of textured (TE) or polyurethane (PU) covered implants.
