The use of textured breast implants over smooth implants has been widely shown to have a lower incidence of capsular contracture.

However, the impact of micropatterning techniques on the incidence of postoperative patient morbidity has not been comprehensively investigated.

The authors sought to examine the incidence of capsular contracture, seroma, and implant rippling among the 3 major micropatterning techniques applied in the manufacturing of textured breast implants.

Literature searches of PubMed/Medline and Embase between 1995 and 2017 were performed, and 19 studies were selected for analysis.

Data from each study were extracted into a form including mean age, study design, population size, mean follow-up, number of capsular contracture cases, number of seroma cases, and number of rippling cases.

Conclusions

Micropatterning of prosthetic implants could drastically reduce postoperative patient morbidity given the advent of recent technologies that allow for more detailed texturing of implant surfaces.
