Breast Implant Rupture Is Strongly Associated with Capsular Contracture: An Intrapatient Study

The study shows that implant rupture is an important risk factor for capsular contracture, likely mediated by silicone leakage, causing inflammation and fibrosis. These findings emphasize the importance of preventing implant rupture, which can be achieved by using implants with a lower rupture rate, or by proactively exchanging implants before the risk of rupture increases.
