LATE COMPLICATIONS OF INDUSTRIAL SILICONE IN THE BREASTS: MUSCULAR INVOLVEMENT OF THE STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID AND LYMPH NODES IN THE CERVICAL REGION UP TO LEVEL V AFTER 35 YEARS
Introduction: The injection of liquid silicone into the breasts, a popular cosmetic practice since the 1940s, has been discouraged due to its serious complications, including difficult-to-manage infections, embolisms, and cosmetic deformities. Chronic complications include the formation of siliconomas, granulomas, and migration of silicone to adjacent tissues and lymph nodes, which can result in significant changes in the anatomy and functionality of the affected regions.
