The free vastus lateralis flap: an anatomic study with case reports.

abstract：:Recently, there have been many new designs in both the surface texture and chemical composition of breast implants that claim reduced constrictive capsular formation. The purpose of this study was to utilize a quantitative method to determine the firmness of capsules formed around saline-filled smooth silicone, textur...
