Abstract

Augmentation mammoplasty consists of inserting a prosthesis into the breast tissue in order to alter its size and shape. Currently, several types of implants are used according to their shape, size and material, as well as different variations in the surgical technique. Associated complications have been described because they are considered foreign bodies and the most common is capsular contracture. We present the case of a 41 year old patient who underwent augmentation mammoplasty with silicone implants and atypically presented an episode of double capsular contracture that required two additional interventions due to asymmetry and pain by changing the implant and again presenting the same phenomenon unilaterally in the left breast.
