| description | Breast augmentation using silicone implant is a common and popular aesthetic procedure with a high safety profile. Infection of silicone breast implants is a rare clinical entity, with skin commensal organisms often implicated as causative pathogen. Surgical treatment often involves removal of the implant with salvage procedures limited to selected cases. This case highlights a delayed presentation of an infected silicone breast implant presenting as a chest wall abscess 15 years after initial surgery. |
