Abstract

New injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid have recently been employed as a non-surgical alternative to implants such as silicone for aesthetic breast enhancement. Although their utilization is not yet widespread in Brazil, radiologists should be aware of the imaging findings in this context and of the implications of the presence of this filler for the radiological evaluation in the screening for breast cancer.Novos preenchedores injetáveis, como o ácido hialurônico, vêm sendo empregados recentemente como alternativa não cirúrgica a implantes como os de silicone para aumento estético das mamas. Embora ainda pouco difundido no Brasil, é importante que o radiologista conheça os achados de imagem nesse contexto e as implicações desse preenchedor sobre a avaliação radiológica durante o rastreamento do câncer de mama.
