Abstract

We present a case of breast reconstruction using bilaterally divided transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps after the removal of severe siliconoma. In Japan, we have examined many patients who have had foreign substance injected into the breasts for augmentation. Most of these patients have had delayed complications. We believe that autologous tissue transfer is an ideal procedure for breast reaugmentation in patients who want to have artificial materials removed from the breasts but to maintain breast contour.
