Abstract
Twelve patients with severe and recurrent capsular contractures following breast augmentation and reconstruction were improved with polyurethane-covered implants. It still has not been established whether these implants prevent or merely delay the onset of contractures, but some of these patients have been followed for over three years and all 12 were improved.
