Systematic review reveals microbial role in capsular contracture, suggesting bacterial biofilms may be involved.

Frequent isolation of Staphylococcus epidermidis was noted in capsular contracture cases, indicating its potential role.
The systematic review included 428 women with 453 breast implants, focusing on relevant surgical and microbial factors.
Microbiota assessment predominantly employed cell culture and pathology techniques, with one study also using PCR.
Bacterial biofilms were consistently associated with contracted capsules, emphasizing the connection with specific microbes.

Aden et al. (2025) studied this question.
