Abstract:
This paper presents a rare complication of breast reconstruction with silicone gel prostheses in which formation of intracapsular hematomas in the mammary region occurred 3 years after surgery. Treatment by bilateral capsular excision was successful. The rarity of this occurrence and the progress of the case are the major reasons for this publication.
