Classification of complications of breast augmentation with silicone gel implants

Abstract

Aim: Studying, statistical processing and classification of complications that arose after breast augmentation with silicone gel implants.Material and methods. Complex clinic-radiological examination of 590 women after a breast augmentation with silicone gel implants was performed. Various complications after breast augmentation were diagnosed in 223 (37.8%) cases. Radiology examination included X-ray mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (X-ray, US and MRI).Results. The analysis of the data obtained allowed us to divide all the identified complications of breast augmentation into 3 groups depending on the etiology and pathogenesis of their occurrence.Conclusion. The proposed classification of complications of breast augmentation using silicone gel implants, based on their etiology and pathogenesis, will allow to choose the optimal treatment method predicting its efficiency.
