[Breast enlargement with silastic prosthesis. Critical results 6 years later].
68 patients have undergone augmentation mammaplasties in the last 6 years in our Dept. of Surgery. 15 reoperations (capsulotomy, capsulectomy, change of the implant) had been necessary. We observed unfavorable results causing patient dissatisfaction in 22%, mostly due to capsular contracture. It should be mentioned that satisfaction was much greater in the group of unilateral hypoplasia (10 cases). Reoperation have not been necessary in this group. The range of indications for augmentation mammaplasties should be limited.
