Silicone breast implants (SBIs) are commonly used for breast reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. However, long-term complications associated with SBI, such as rupture and infection, require careful monitoring. Here, we report a case in which coronavirus disease 2019 infection led to immunosuppression and secondary bacterial infection, resulting in skin ulceration and eventual removal of the SBI. This case highlights the potential complications of long-term use of SBI and the need for careful postoperative monitoring.
硅胶乳房植入物(SBIs)常用于乳房重建和美容手术。然而,与硅胶乳房植入物相关的长期并发症,如破裂和感染,需要仔细监测。在此,我们报告一例2019冠状病毒病感染导致免疫抑制和继发性细菌感染,进而引起皮肤溃疡并最终移除硅胶乳房植入物的病例。该病例凸显了长期使用硅胶乳房植入物的潜在并发症以及术后仔细监测的必要性。
