Augmentation mammoplasty in breasts with port-wine stains. Are these patients at increased risk of haematoma? A case report with comparative analysis.

摘要

Augmentation mammoplasty is a common aesthetic procedures currently performed for self-esteem, confidence, and better body proportions with a very high satisfaction rate. Complications after augmentation mammoplasty are few and broadly categorized as early or late. Early complications after augmentation mammoplasty are not common but often require surgical intervention and include infection and hematoma. The reported incidence of infection varies from 0.52 to 2.5% [1], and hematoma has a reported incidence of 1.3% [2]. In the author's retrospective audit, a hematoma incidence of 0.6% was seen after primary bilateral augmentation mammoplasty for 1,838 patients. Port-wine stain, a capillary malformation, is an intradermal lesion present at birth that persists throughout life and does not regress. This lesion is rarer than venous malformation, with a reported incidence of 0.3% [3].
