Breast implants commonly are placed for breast augmentation and reconstruction. Both breast injections and implants are seen frequently in everyday imaging practices. This case-based review will review implant imaging guidelines, implant types, direct injection appearances, implant rupture, antibiotic beads, benign and malignant tumors, complications such as hematomas, contracture, and infection. We will also cover confusing imaging findings specifically associated with breast implant surgery such as dermal matrix and expanders.

Learning Objectives:

Review breast implant types, breast augmentation injection appearances, and imaging guidelines
Illustrate imaging findings of common and uncommon complications associated with breast augmentation
Identify imaging features of ALCL and other malignancies associated with breast augmentation
