Abstract

Introduction: Augmentation mammoplasty with implants is one of the most frequent and common procedures in plastic surgery, while capsular contracture is, in turn, the most frequent of its complications. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of patients who attend consultation for breast dysmorphia with this complication. However, there is no performance protocol to solve it. For this reason, the motivation arises for the development of this study, with the aim of showing the outcomes of surgical management with the use of various procedures.

Objective: To describe the outcomes of surgical management of patients with capsular contracture at Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital between August 1, 2012 and March 31, 2019.

Methods: Descriptive, longitudinal and ambispective study carried out with 32 patients from the plastic surgery and caumatology department.

Results: In the study, grade III capsular contracture prevailed in 62.5% of the sample. The most widely used technique was partial capsulectomy with implant change and plane change. There were no major complications and all patients were satisfied with the outcomes obtained.

Conclusions: It is concluded that the techniques for the surgical managment of capsular contracture at Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital provide good outcomes, based on the low presence of complications and the high degree of satisfaction with the outcomes obtained.
