Several strategies have been considered to overcome the existing limitations as well as to improve their performance. Recently, surface modification has proved to be an effective clinical approach to prevent bacterial adhesion, reduce capsular thickness, prevent foreign body reactions, and reduce other implant-associated problems. This review article summarizes the ongoing strategies for the surface modification of silicone implants in breast reconstruction applications. The article mostly discusses two broad categories of surface modification: drug-mediated and polymer-based. Different kinds of drugs have been applied with silicone that are associated with breast reconstruction. Initially, this article discusses studies related to drugs immobilized on silicone implants, focusing on drug-loading methods and their effects on capsule contracture. Moreover, the pharmacological action of drugs on fibroblast cells is considered in this section. Next, the polymeric modification of the silicone surface is introduced, and we discuss its role in reducing capsule thickness at the cellular and biological levels. The polymeric modification techniques, their chemistry, and their physical properties are described in detail. Notably, polymer activities on macrophages and inflammation are also briefly discussed. Each of the reviewed articles is summarized, highlighting their discussion of capsular thickness, foreign body reactions, and bacterial attachment. The aim of this review is to provide the main points of some research articles regarding the surface modification of silicon, which can lead to a decrease in capsular thickness and provides better patient compliance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym13162731","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,15]],"date-time":"2021-08-15T22:51:27Z","timestamp":1629067887000},"page":"2731","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Functionalization of Silicone Surface with Drugs and Polymers for Regulation of Capsular Contracture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3613-7610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omar","family":"Faruq","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1419-3766","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pham Ngoc","family":"Chien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nilsu","family":"D\u00f6nmez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sun-Young","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9003-7365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chan-Yeong","family":"Heo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam 13620, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul University College of Medicine, Seoul 03080, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.3390\/polym2030286","article-title":"The Use of Polymers in the Treatment of Retinal Detachment: Current Trends and Future Perspectives","volume":"2","author":"Baino","year":"2010","journal-title":"Polymers"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"945","DOI":"10.1016\/j.medengphy.2010.07.007","article-title":"Scleral buckling biomaterials and implants for retinal detachment surgery","volume":"32","author":"Baino","year":"2010","journal-title":"Med.
