[Le muscle] perd son élasticité après l'abattage, pour se rigidifier progressivement jusqu'à un stade de raidissement maximal appelé rigidité cadavérique ou rigor mortis, atteint environ 24 heures post mortem. Ce raidissement provient de l'arrêt progressif de la consommation de glycogène par le muscle, quelques heures après la mort : en l'absence d'oxygène (arrêt de la circulation sanguine), l'utilisation du glycogène perd de son efficacité et devient insuffisante pour répondre aux besoins de contraction et de relaxation du muscle.

Contraction capsulaire. La contraction capsulaire intervient quand le tissu cicatrisant ou la capsule qui se forme normalement autour de l'implant serre et compresse l'implant. Cela peut arriver à un ou aux deux implants. Il y a quatre étapes lors d'une contraction capsulaire connues sous le nom des étapes de Baker. Les étapes de Baker sont les suivantes : étape 1 - le sein est normalement souple et semble naturel; étape 2 - le sein est un peu ferme mais semble naturel; étape 3 - le sein est ferme et semble anormal; étape 4 - le sein est dur, douloureux et semble anormal. La contraction capsulaire peut nécessiter une réopération en général au stade 3 et 4 et elle peut resurgir après. 1, record 12, French, - %C3%A9tape%20de%20Baker
