[Treatment of the capsular contracture around mammary implants: our experience].
The most common complication in patients who underwent mammary implant surgery is capsular contracture. Actually, there is no standard effective treatment for this complication. The aim of this article is to show our experience about LTRAs (leukotriene receptor antagonists) for the treatment of the capsular contracture. The findings indicate that these drugs may reduce pain and breast capsule distortion for patients with long-standing contracture.
