Mammographic and sonographic findings after silicone injection
1Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York.
The illicit use of silicone injection for cosmetic augmentation was performed in the 1960s. However, this method of augmentation was subsequently abandoned. Recently, a resurgence of this practice has occurred. We present reports of 2 patients who had non-medical-grade silicone injected into their breasts clandestinely. The clinical findings and imaging features are presented.
