Role of mechanical and thermal damage in pericapsular inflammatory response to injectable silicone in a rabbit model.

Silicone is used widely for tissue augmentation in humans. However, late complications, such as delayed inflammation and capsular contracture, remain uncharacterized, despite their importance. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether mechanical and thermal damage induce capsular inflammat...
