Background: Capsular contracture is one of the most common and severe complications after implant-based breast reconstruction. Recently, prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has become an alternative to subpectoral implant-based reconstruction. However, risk factors for capsular contracture associated with recent prepectoral reconstruction trends are not well refined yet.

- In breast surgeries, the nipple-areola complex can lead to contamination by normal bacteria, making it hard to keep the surgical area completely sterile.
- This study focused on the bacterial profile of nipple flora in breast cancer patients who had implant-based reconstructions, linking the presence of bacteria to postoperative complications like capsular contracture.
- Results showed that nearly 47% of patients had positive cultures for bacteria, with significant findings that certain bacteria, especially Staphylococcus epidermidis, were associated with postoperative infections, emphasizing the need for further research on preventive measures like antibiotic treatment.
