Figure 2. — Experimental results: (a) experimental stress–stretch relation for different capsular tissues. The orientation of the fibres is unknown. The curves correspond to three different degrees of severity of fibrosis. The surgery corresponded to a case of breast augmentation for aesthetic purposes. None of the patients had undergone previous irradiation treatment. (b) Experimental stress–stretch relation for different capsular tissues. The orientation of the fibres is also unknown.
