Recent media attention has transformed breast augmentation, a routine surgical procedure, into a highly controversial one. Capsular contracture is cited in both the lay press and scientific literature as the most frequent complication of breast augmentation. This retrospective study compares two similar groups of breast augmentation patients. The first group consists of 98 consecutive patients utilizing smooth-surface silicone implants, and the second group consists of 99 consecutive augmentations using textured-surface silicone implants. The operative technique and postoperative care were identical--with the surface differences being the only significant variable. Textured-surface silicone implants are shown statistically to reduce capsular contracture to 4 percent, compared with a 21 percent incidence with smooth-surface silicone implants.
近期媒体的关注已将隆胸这一常规外科手术转变为极具争议性的手术。包膜挛缩在通俗报刊和科学文献中均被视为隆胸最常见的并发症。这项回顾性研究对比了两组相似的隆胸患者。第一组由连续98例使用光面硅胶假体的患者组成，第二组由连续99例使用毛面硅胶假体的隆胸患者组成。手术技术和术后护理相同——表面差异是唯一的显著变量。统计学显示，毛面硅胶假体可将包膜挛缩率降至4%，而光面硅胶假体的发生率为21%。
