Distension of the skin stimulates the synthetic and protein-synthetic and proliferative activity of fibriblasts and cells of the microvascular wall (endoteliocytes and pericytes) of the dermis. The thickness of the skin increases by 2-2.5 times. The type of an expander did not depend on the capsular structure. Silicon expanders produced a less intensive inflammation than latex ones.
