ABSTRACT
Breast implant surgery or mammaplasty is the most frequent cosmetic surgery performed. Surgical site infection (ssi)
is the leading complication with a reported incidence of 1.1 to 2.5% in cosmetic surgery procedures, rising up to 35%
in breast reconstruction surgeries. Early infections are related to gram positive bacteria such as coagulase-negative
staphylococci,
Staphylococcus aureus and
Streptococcus. Late infections are the result from secondary bacteremia or
an invasive procedure, and can be caused by both gram positive and negative bacteria and rarely by mycobacteria and
fungi. The risk factors are surgical technique and the underlying condition of the patient. Potential sources of infection
include the patient skin, breast ducts, the surgical environment and contaminated implants. An empirical antibiotic regimen
should include coverage for
S. aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci and gram negative bacteria. Removal
of the implant is frequently required but salvage can be attempted in carefully selected situations.
