Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

It's titled Transcriptome of Capsular Contracture Around Breast Implants Mimics Allograft Rejection, a Matched Case Cohort, I'm sorry, Control Study.

And so it was published in Plastic Surgery Journal, the White Journal, and that was in last summer.

And I came across it preparing for a talk that I was giving about capsulectomy, capsular contracture.

And this was a fascinating paper when I read it.

Yeah.

And we've also got some peer-reviewed literature from the ASAPS Surgery Journal, uh, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the latest specialized clinic protocols from 2026.

Right.

And all of these sources point to this phenomenon that I, I kind of want to call the anatomical illusion.
