Poly Implant Proth èse silicone breast implants: implant dynamics and capsular contracture

ConclusionsWe managed to illustrate that PIP implant shells were too permeable and that there is a correlation between gel bleeding and the increase of the post-operative implant volume. Implant rupture led to a higher risk for developing capsular contracture.Level of evidence: Level III, risk / prognostic study.
