Surface Areas of Textured Breast Implants: Implications for the Biofilm Theory of Capsule Formation

BACKGROUND: Increased surface area of mammary implants is suggested as a causative agent for the development of biofilms, which may lead to capsular contraction. The aim of this study was to quantify the surface areas of round implants of different textures and examine how these data can be interpre...
