Evidence on implant planning, enhanced recovery, pain control, bleeding and capsular contracture.
Enhanced-recovery pathways coordinate education, anaesthesia, pain control and early movement; one randomised study reported faster arm mobility and markedly lower opioid use.
Read the evidence summaryCombining anaesthetic, regional and non-opioid strategies can reduce reliance on a single medicine, while contraindications and rescue pain relief remain important.
Read the evidence summaryTissue-based planning matches width, projection and volume to the chest and soft-tissue envelope rather than choosing an implant from cup size alone.
Read the evidence summaryScar tissue normally forms around an implant; contracture occurs when that capsule tightens, but risk is multifactorial and no single preventive step removes it.
Read the evidence summaryCareful bleeding control during surgery and rapid recognition of a postoperative haematoma can protect recovery and reduce pressure on healing tissues.
