Brief Summary
The study plans to evaluate capsular contracture at 1-year follow-up in postmastectomy patients receiving immediate implant-based reconstruction and Capsulase® supplementation in the postoperative period. These data are compared with historical data of capsular contracture in patients not receiving any food supplementation postoperatively. Aim of the study is to collect preliminary data to support Capsulase® supplementation in the postoperative period to prevent capsular contracture.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Immediate post mastectomy reconstruction with definitive silicone implant (microtextured prosthesis) (both therapeutic and risk reducing mastectomies)
- Informed consent
- Unilateral and bilateral mastectomies
You may not qualify if:
- Hypersensitivity to Capsulase®
- Pregnant women
- Impossibility of immediate reconstruction with definitive implants due to inadequacy of mastectomy flaps (inadequate in quantity and/or quality)
- Patients with previous breast implants
- Revisional surgery for capsular contracture
- Use of micro polyurethane foam-coated implants
- Mesh and matrix-assisted reconstructions
- Reconstruction of previous irradiated breasts
