title: [Experience in management of capsular contraction through areolar incision after implantation of prosthesis for augmentation mammaplasty].
abstract: Since 1990, 19 cases of capsular contraction of Baker's III, IV have been treated with partial excision of the capsule and replacement of implants through areolar incision. The result was satisfactory. After six months to eighteen months follow-up observation, no capsular contraction was again found. All patients were graded Baker's I. Prevention of capsular contraction was also discussed.
