A case in which a growing and painful mass developed in the breast 10 months
after fat injection following trochanteric and abdominal liposuction is
described. Treatment included lumpectomy and breast reconstruction in a second
stage by bilateral subpectoral augmentation mammaplasty with textured gel-filled
prostheses. Histologic examination revealed a liponecrotic pseudocyst. The
development of pseudocysts and microcalcifications after breast autologous fat
injection is a complication that warns against using this technique for breast
augmentation.
