Fate of exposed breast implants in augmentation mammoplasty.

Abstract:

:Exposure of silicone breast implants usually leads to infection and extrusion. According to the literature, implant extrusion rates are not higher than 2% 1 and removal of the implant is recommended. 2 During the past 3 years, the authors dealt with eight implant exposures (six women: two cases of bilateral exposure and four cases of unilateral exposure). All the pockets were infected. Patients were offered two alternatives: immediate removal of the implant and reimplantation after a few months or conservative treatment with an effort to close the exposed area after the discharge stopped. All the patients in this study chose the latter alternative. Four out of eight implants were saved. The authors had to remove the other four. The average follow-up of these women was 2 years and there were no signs of capsular contracture or any other problems. According to this series, 50% of eight exposed breast implants could be saved with conservative treatment.
