Moreover, the attachments are generally head to tail â that is the 1-carbon of the first isoprene is connected to the 4-carbon of the adjacent isoprene. Already discussed examples of such molecules include the polymers, natural rubber and gutta percha.
Reviewed by Walter Erhardt, MD. Capsular contracture is a breast augmentation complication that develops when internal scar tissue forms a tight or constricting capsule around a breast implant, contracting it until it becomes misshapen and hard.
