title: Challenges in mammography: part 2, multimodality review of breast augmentation--imaging findings and complications.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Breast augmentation is common throughout the world; however, there is variation in materials and surgical techniques. This review illustrates the mammographic, sonographic, and MRI characteristics of the different types of breast augmentation, including silicone, saline, polyacrylamide gel, and autologous fat augmentation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The imaging findings of complications such as implant rupture, free silicone, and fat necrosis in association with augmentation will be illustrated.
