[Microcirculation disorders as the cause of capsular contraction after augmentative mammoplasty]
Abstract:
Fragments of fibrous capsules removed during operations on account of III - IV degree fibrous capsular contraction around mammoimplant or prosthesis (oleoimplant) deformation were studied with light microscopy. Signs of lymphostasis were detected in all the layers of capsule at all the patients. Fibrous capsular contraction progresses due to dysbalance between volumes of areolar (boundary) and thick (basic) parts of capsule. This dysbalance may be caused by activation of inflammatory reaction at tissues surrounding implant after trauma of them, or by microcirculation disorders due to blockade of vessels with implants or tissue detritus.
