Fulltext PDFBreast Augmentation (BA), though one of the most performed cosmetic surgeries in the world, is associated with a few complications both common and uncommon.
The skill and expertise of the operating surgeon are still the foremost parameter regarding the safety and success of the surgery. However, there is a potential of some uncommon safety concerns and complications to emerge.
Here we present a case of hybrid breast augmentation in a woman, who experienced an unexpected complication of iatrogenic puncture of silicone implant with fat, during her hybrid fat grafting procedure. The case was salvaged with removal of implant and washout. The correction of asymmetry was later performed. This is to highlight to the operating surgeon to be aware of the potential complication and we recommend a 10-point safety protocol.
