Abstract:
Silicone prostheses are the major biomaterials used in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. The use of silicone gel breast implants in China was much later than that in western countries. The wide spread use of silicone gel-filled implants in the medical profession has documented in its success and usefulness, but some possible complications also occurred following this good clinical record. The main complications are rupture and leakage of silicon gel-filled mammary prosthesis, capsular contracture, implant shift and infection. Therefore, we not only pay attention to the defined complications, but also think highly of the disputing security issues.
