Excerpt
Capsular contracture is a major complication of implant-based breast reconstruction. Recent studies have shown that use of acellular dermal matrices (ADM) for coverage of breast implants decreased or prevented capsular contractures. Moyer et al.
1 performed histopathological analysis of native capsules and ADM capsules in both nonirradiated and irradiated patients. They observed significant differences in cellular infiltration and elastin distribution only. Other researchers have also investigated the histological differences between subpectoral and ADM capsules and the mechanism by which the ADM reduces capsule formation around the breast implant. However, the mechanism remains unclear. …
