“…First described by Novack (41) in 1991 and attributed to the cultural emphasis on fitness and bodybuilding during the 1980s, body contouring with soft solid silicone alloplastic implants can be performed in various anatomic locations, such as the pectoralis, calf, gluteal, shoulder, or upper arm musculature (42)(43)(44)(45)(46). Muscular augmentation can be pursued for purely cosmetic reasons or for reconstructive purposes for congenital, neoplastic, or traumatic deformities (Figs 11, 12).…”

“…Complications common to all sites of silicone implantation can occur either early or late and include seroma, hematoma, infection, wound dehiscence, neurovascular injury, implant migration, implant rupture, implant leakage, and capsular contracture (43,45,46,51,52). Neural and vascular structures are injured on the basis of their proximity to the implant: the axillary and/or cephalic veins and axillary nerve for deltoid implants, the short saphenous vein and medial sural cutaneous nerve for calf implants, and the sciatic nerve for gluteal implants (44,45).…”

Soft-tissue augmentation and implants are increasingly seen by the radiologist as more techniques emerge for a variety of indications and locations. Some surgical and implant procedures are performed for purely cosmetic reasons in otherwise healthy patients seeking to improve their body image, and some are performed for reconstruction after cancer or other chronic illnesses. Abdominoplasty, liposuction, and autologous fat grafting can be performed for abdominal and gluteal contouring. Injection of liquid injectable silicone has historically been fraught with legal issues, although it continues to be used for augmentation in a variety of anatomic locations. Newer solid silicone implants have revolutionized cosmetic and reconstructive muscular contouring. Subdermal implants placed by nonmedical professionals are relatively new and unrecognized within the medical establishment, although such implants have been described in the popular culture. Perhaps the most rapidly increasing segment of cosmetic procedures, however, is minimally invasive cosmesis in the form of soft-tissue fillers in the hands and face. Finally, the major principles of breast augmentation and penile implants are also reviewed. Regardless of the location and the type of implant, complications of plastic surgery and soft-tissue implants can generally be classified into the following categories: seroma, hematoma, infection, migration, vascular or nerve compression, fibrosis, foreign-body reaction, and rupture or breakdown. Key concepts include knowing the appropriate anatomic location and the normal postoperative appearance so that complications can be properly detected. A broad range of approved, off-label, and illicit plastic surgical and implant procedures are described and their complications illustrated with cases with classic imaging findings. RSNA, 2017.
