title: [Reasons for removing mammary prostheses in 27 patients after augmentation mammaplasty].
abstract: We have performed agumentation mammplasty on 867 patients since 1989. Twenty-seven of them had their prostheses removed for various reasons including infection, pain, rupture or exposure of the implant, capsular contracture, psychopath, etc. The authors think that the proper selection of good implants and submuscular insertion of the implant are important for reducing such complications.
