ABSTRACT

Body contouring using by foreign materials has been performed historically. This popular practice carried out by charlatans, “aesthetic physicians”, or any unscrupulous person, has grown due to their easy application and low prices materials like silicon fluids, synthetic industrial oils, paraffin and other materials prepared with unknown substances, develops an intense local and systemic inflammatory response with devastating consequences in the short or middle term in the injected body areas. A woman´s breast was injected twelve years before with mineral oil to increase its size. This patient suffered chronic, inflammatory tissue deformity and hardening as well as substance migration. She was treated with bilateral simple mastectomy and immediate reconstruction using a pedicled double TRAM flap and areola-nipple complex in a subsequent surgery.
