Abstract:
Summary Three cases of homologous and one of autologous free fat block transplantation for breast augmentation were seen 10 to 20 years after operation due to late complications. Displacement of heavy tumors, local mastitis or disrupted capsules following local trauma led to admission. The calcified centrally necrotic cysts were treated by subcutaneous mastectomy or local enucleation and immediate reconstruction by subpectoral augmentation with silicone-gel implants or reduction mammoplasty.
