Abstract |
Two cases of late infection following aesthetic malar augmentation with Proplast implants are described. The etiology appears to be contamination because of erosion of the implants through the thin wall of the anterior maxilla. This problem might be avoided by confining placement of the implant over the thick portion of the zygoma.
