Capsular contracture is one of the most common and severe complications after implant-based breast reconstruction. Recently, prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has become an alternative to subpectoral implant-based reconstruction. However, risk factors for capsular contracture associated with recent prepectoral reconstruction trends are not well refined yet. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine risk factors for capsular contracture, and share our experience of treating capsular contracture in prepectoral reconstruction.
