Abstract:
Silicone implants are suitable for correction of defects in the face. They are biologically inert, are retaining form, are available in each size and consistency, are easily inserted and later on corrected. Among 321 silicone implants in the face we found complications between 8% for chin augmentation and 55% for ear reconstruction. The overall-complication rate was diminished by a simple correction to less than 9%.
