Abstract
raphy of 8 cases, there were ill defined hypoechoic masses in 2 cases which needed additional cytology for rule out malignancy. There were implant puncture in all 2 cases with silicone implants, and in case with abscess, there were S. epidermidis in culture. Among 7 augmentation mammaplasty cases, removal of fat necrosis was performed simultaneously in 1 case with severely palpable masses but postoperative seroma formation and capsular contracture occurred. Conclusion: Autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation can make masses, abscess and microcalcifications on mammography due to fat necrosis which compromise breast cancer detection. Additional study is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of fat stem cell grafts as an alternative to traditional method.
