Capsular contracture and recurrent capsular contracture is a challenging problem for both the patient and surgeon. Acellular dermal substitutes have been used for rippling, implant and inframammary fold malposition. It may be that an additional benefit of acellular dermal matrices is to reduce the recurrence of capsular contracture.
I have found in certain cases of recurrent capsular contracture for Strattice to have been helpful as an interface between the access incision and the breast implant. It maybe that this interface serves as a mechanism to prevent capsular contracture.
