Abstract

Our analysis revealed a wide range of mammographic findings in this group of asymptomatic women with breast augmentation. Especially worrisome is the 5% prevalence of unsuspected silicone extravasation. Additionally, we have demonstrated the usefulness of push-back views in this screening group, especially in women with submuscular implants.
