Summary
This study follows 300 women who had immediate breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy. Researchers want to understand why some develop capsular contracture — a condition where scar tissue tightens around the implant, causing hardness or pain. Participants will be evaluated six months after surgery using a standard scale to rate cosmetic results. The goal is to identify factors that lead to this complication and improve future outcomes.
