A Bibliometric Review of Capsular Contracture in Breast Implant: Global Trends and Research Hotspots.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Capsular contracture (CC) is the most common complication following breast augmentation and reconstruction. Although numerous risk factors and preventive strategies have been proposed, the etiology remains poorly understood. This study employs bibliometric analysis to evaluate global research trends, collaboration networks, and emerging hotspots in CC research. Methods: We queried the Web of Science Core Collection using keywords related to breast implants and CC, including publications through December 31, 2024. Data including publication year, author, institution, citations(C), and keywords were analyzed using VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel, and Scimago Graphica to visualize trends, collaboration networks, and research foci.
