Late unilateral hematoma after breast augmentation.
[BACKGROUND] Late hematoma after breast augmentation is a rare phenomenon with unproven etiology. [METHODS] Five patients presented with a late unilateral hematoma after receiving bilateral, submuscular, smooth, round, silicone gel implant…

Complications from injectable materials used for breast augmentation.
Fewer surgical procedures have a history as fascinating and as terrifying as breast augmentation. Initial efforts at augmentation involved injection of substances such as paraffin or oil into the breast tissue, or the implantation of substa…

Late unilateral breast enlargement after insertion of silicone gel implants: A histopathological study.
Late unilateral breast enlargement after the insertion of silicone gel breast implants is a very rare phenomenon. The present study reports five women who presented with this finding over the past 20 years. Three of these patients presented…

The peri-implant breast capsule: an immunophenotypic study of capsules taken at explantation surgery.
Silicone-based breast implants continue to be the focus of many studies attempting to correlate implant failure to clinical and pathological factors. Routine pathology of peri-implant capsule is extensively described in the literature. The …

A review of the literature on the etiology of capsular contracture and a pilot study to determine the outcome of capsular contracture interventions.
The etiology of capsular contracture is unclear and probably multifactorial. This review covers the literature on several proposed contracture factors, including filler material, implant placement, surface texture, and bacterial infection. …

Factors associated with breast implant rupture: pilot of a retrospective analysis.
This pilot study's goal was to test the feasibility of a data collection form which will be used in a scale-up study analyzing multiple surgeons' records. The goal of this expanded study will be to develop identifying factors for women who …

Cartilaginous metaplasia in the capsule of a Dacron-backed silicone gel breast prosthesis.
Capsular metaplastic changes described as "synovial metaplasia" have been reported in association with silicone gel breast prostheses. Initially this finding was thought to be more common with textured implants. Recent studies have shown no…

An outcome analysis of 100 women after explantation of silicone gel breast implants.
A prospective outcome analysis was conducted on 100 consecutive women who requested explantation of their silicone gel breast implants from January 6, 1992 (the moratorium), through 1995. Eighteen patients were referred by rheumatologists w…

Silicon and silicone levels in patients with silicone implants.
Although a potential link between silicone gel breast implants and autoimmune connective tissue disease has been suggested, none has been proven. The potential role of silicone as an immune adjuvant remains very controversial. Currently ava…

Analysis of silicon levels in capsules of gel and saline breast implants and of penile prostheses.
Although a potential link between silicone-gel breast implants and autoimmune connective tissue disease has been suggested, none has been proven. The potential role of silicone as an immune adjuvant remains very controversial. Currently ava…

Factors affecting the rupture of silicone-gel breast implants.
Between January 1990 and April 1993, over 500 patients with silicone-gel breast implants were clinically assessed regarding their implant status. Of these, 57 patients requested implant removal. Reasons for removal were capsular contracture…

Capsular contracture simulating myocardial infarction on ECG.
A patient is presented with severe bilateral class IV capsular contractures who presented 16 years after prepectoral breast augmentation with a "septal infarct" pattern on ECG. This abnormal ECG proved to be an artifact caused by unavoidabl…
