How Texture-Inducing Contraction Vectors Affect the Fibrous Capsule Shrinkage Around Breasts Implants?

Conclusion  Biocell™ implants created resultant vectors on the capsular interface of small and similar lengths with divergent directions
creating natural breast firmness. Biodegradation of Polyurethane™ foam disrupted the texture from creating resultant vectors
of long and different lengths and in variable directions, increasing breast firmness from 12 months. Siltex™ implants created
few and very long resultant vectors perpendicular to the fibrous capsule that developed fibrous capsule contraction after
9 months. We conclude that implants with macrotextured surfaces significantly reduced the risk of fibrous capsular contraction.
