[Mamma augmentation with homoeoplastic fatty tissue. Long term observations (author's transl)].

The report covers three cases of mamma augmentation with homoeoplastic fatty tissue, performed elsewhere. The defence reaction takes a three-phase course: 1st Phase: Clinically asymptomatic, with autolysis and capsule formation (1 to 8 years), 2nd Phase: intermittant complaints, hardening of the mammae and enlargement of lymph nodes (after 4 to 91/4 years), 3rd Phase: Acute mastitis (after 5 to 91/4 years). The long-term developments show that mamma augmentation with homoeplastic fatty tissue is a method which is detrimental to health.
