1. A method for treating a breast at risk for capsule contracture, the breast having an encapsulated prosthesis therein, the method comprising the steps of:
removing the encapsulated prosthesis from the breast to form a breast cavity and leaving the capsule tissue substantially intact in the breast; and introducing a different prosthesis into the breast cavity, the different prosthesis having a porous surface defined by open-celled, interconnected pores having an average pore size of greater than about 600 μm;
whereby the porous surface of the different prosthesis causes disorganization of the capsule tissue in contact therewith, and reduced risk of capsule contracture. |
