A case of extracapsular silicone gel implant rupture with contralateral gel migration.

Abstract

Symmastia is a rare complication of augmentation mammaplasty that occurs when a breast implant crosses the midline and connects with the contralateral implant pocket. We present a case of implant rupture, migration to the contralateral breast, and ultimate symmastia following a traumatic fall in a patient with prior breast augmentation.
