title: [Acute periprosthetic infection after aesthetic breast augmentation. Report of three cases of implant "salvage". Proposal of a standardized protocol of care].
abstract: The authors report three cases of contaminated implant "salvage" after aesthetic breast augmentation. Patients' care included a lavage of the pocket, a change of the implant and an adapted bi-antibiotherapy of 6 weeks, including 8 days intravenous. In one case, this protocol has been started after failure of antibiotherapy alone. Patients, reviewed at 13 months or more, were not showing any signs of infection. One of them was showing a Baker's grade 3 capsule contracture on the infected side. Through a literature review, we discuss the modalities of an effective conservative treatment and its justification.
