| Popis: | Background Silicone implants have been used in breast augmentation for more than 45 years. Complications, in particular, capsular contracture, still occur with a high incidence. Titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TCPM; TiLoop Bra®, pfm medical, Cologne, Germany) provides new opportunities for implant-based breast reconstruction. We investigated the influence of the surface of silicone implants on the formation of capsular contracture by comparing textured silicone with TCPM-covered smooth silicone implants. |
