Capsular contractures following implant-based breast reconstruction in women undergoing risk-reducing mastectomy: national register-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The majority of women undergoing risk-reducing mastectomy have implant-based breast reconstruction, with capsular contracture being one of the most common complications.
