ABSTRACT
Objective To study the histologic characteristics of the capsule of breast implant. Methods Four miniprostheses were seperatelly implanted in four positions beneath the panniculus carnosus muscle in 30 rabbits. After 3 weeks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 months, capsular histology examination and the assay of capsular collagen content and type were performed. Results ⑴ Capsule was divided into two layers the inner layer was dense and the outer loose connective tissues. Collagen component was more, cellular component was less and capsule was thicker (P0.05). ⑵ Capsular collagen content increased gradually in 3 months (P0.05). ⑶Collagen fibers were the most component, reticular fibers were second and elastic fibers were least. After 3 months, elastic fibers decreased, and collagen and reticular fibers became full layer gradually. ⑷ Capsular collagen type I in the capsule was gradually increased and type III decreased before 3 months. There were no significant changes after 3 months. Conclusions Histology of the implant capsule is similar to that of scar and the result of wound healing around implant.
