Abstract
Considerable data indicate that “low bleed” breast implants could lead to a reduction in the incidence of clinically evident capsular contraction. This paper represents an initial clinical evaluation of “low bleed” breast implants. Initial data indicate that there is a reduction of the incidence of capsular contraction in patients in which “low bleed” implants have been used.
