Capsular Contracture in Aesthetic Breast Surgery. An Overview of a Common Procedure
Main Article Content
Abstract
Complications following reconstructive or aesthetic breast surgery are important considerations for women pursuing these options. Common complications of breast reconstruction using implants and expanders include capsular contracture. Knowing this pathology is necessary due to its prevalence in patients undergoing breast interventions. Preventive actions must be taken, as well as optimizing some techniques and knowing risk factors in patients to reduce the incidence as much as possible.
