In breast augmentation the pattern which has clearly emerged with respect to possible complications shows that those encountered a few years ago have now, in experienced hands, almost all been eliminated, with one exception, viz. undue postoperative firmness (capsular contraction). This complication is reviewed in detail, with special reference to its possible aetiology, prevention and treatment. It is concluded that despite this complication, breast augmentation is today a very good and safe operation. Excellent results have been achieved in about 90% of cases, and this figure can be improved upon with further treatment for any complicating firmness.
在隆胸手术中，关于可能出现的并发症所呈现出的明显模式表明，几年前遇到的那些并发症，如今在经验丰富的医生手中几乎都已消除，只有一个例外，即术后过度僵硬（包膜挛缩）。本文将详细回顾这一并发症，特别涉及其可能的病因、预防和治疗。得出的结论是，尽管存在这一并发症，但如今隆胸手术仍是一项非常好且安全的手术。在大约90%的病例中都取得了优异的效果，对于任何并发的僵硬情况进行进一步治疗，这一数字还可以得到提高。
