Abstract: | Recent experience with the cohesive gel implant has shown an interesting variation of capsular contracture. Instead of spherical contraction, the capsule formation around the 410 implant seems to cause a buckling of the superior pole of the implant. This buckling has been observed in four implants and presented clinically in 2 of 50 patients with a superior pole mass. The capsular contraction around the implant and the buckling are probably camouflaged by a subpectoral implantation and this presentation should be recognized by the surgeon, especially when considering placement of the cohesive gel implant in a subglandular position. Histological sections of a capsule around the implant show fragmented silicone, with a cellular reaction around the fragmented silicone. |
