Abstract

The aim of the paper is to establish a method of breast augmentation which will reduce capsular contracture. Since the causation of capsule contracture is probably multifactorial, a regime of pocket irrigation, prolonged drainage, a double lumen prosthesis and massage is advocated. Using this protocol, the incidence of capsule formation is 11 % and appears to be decreasing as further studies are carried out.
