What are the causes of periosteal contracture of breast implants What are the causes of periosteal contracture of breast implants? Contracture of the envelope is a relatively common complication of breast augmentation. The causes of periosteal contracture are also very complicated and may be related to the type of implant, the position of the implant and other factors. Once the contracture is formed, it is irreversible and the only solution is to remove the implant as soon as possible. What are the causes of breast implant contracture? 1, individual factors: everyone’s physique is different, for example, some people’s physique is easy to grow connective tissue, the implant is easy to thicken after implantation, easy to form a pericardium; 2, technical factors: such as bleeding during surgery, which leads to infection, or not clean, improper dissection of the cavity and so on. It is also possible that the person is too thin, the soft tissue of the breast is too little, including breast tissue is too little, the cavity is very limited, and the implant is too large, it is also easy to cause contracture of the pericardium. Figuratively speaking, just like wrapping dumplings, if the skin is too thin and the filling is too big, this problem will also occur. 3, prosthetic factors: the quality of the prosthesis may not be so good, there is a certain amount of leakage, or the prosthesis has part of the rupture, etc., will lead to the appearance of periosteal contracture.
