Mammographic and Sonographic Findings After Silicone Injection

Abstract

The illicit use of silicone injection for cosmetic augmentation was performed in the 1960s. However, this method of augmentation was subsequently abandoned. Recently, a resurgence of this practice has occurred. We present reports of 2 patients who had non-medical-grade silicone injected into their breasts clandestinely. The clinical findings and imaging features are presented.
