Immunophenotypic characterization of human T cells after in vitro exposure to different silicone breast implant surfaces.

Immunophenotypic characterization of human T cells after in vitro exposure to different silicone breast implant surfaces.

The most common complication of silicone breast implants is capsular contracture (massive scar formation around the implant). We postulate that capsular contracture is always a sequel to inflammatory processes, with both innate and adaptive immune mechanisms participating. In general, fibroblasts an...
