Abstract

Summary The technique for the injection of a poly-linked silicone gel into a well prepared pocket in the retro-mammary space for breast augmentation is described. This silicone compound is supplied in the gel state ready for use without any preliminary addition of a catalyst. It retains its chemical and physical properties in situ. The complications encountered with this method in a fairly large series of cases seen over several years are described. Based on our experience, we would like to emphasise that the injection method should be used with extreme care and in selected multiparous women only.
