Abstract
This review provides a clear overview of the immunological factors associated with capsular contracture and provides a hypothetical immunological model for development of the disease. Furthermore, an overview of bacterial contamination and associations with capsular contracture has been provided. Follow-up research may result in clinical recommendations to prevent capsular contracture.
