Introduction: Breast augmentation using injectable materials are widely used around the world. Most commonly used materials include collagen and silicone. These materials are associated with detrimental effects and although this method of augmentation is banned in UK, due to medical tourism and immigration we still encounter such patients in our practice. It is hence important to understand how best to manage the complications associated with these practices. We discuss three of such cases. Case Series: A 30-year-old female presented with bilateral painful breasts with history of previous augmentation with silicone injections in Thailand. A 57-year-old female recall from breast screening due to presence of bilateral multifocal nodular densities with history of previous bilateral collagen augmentation. A 41-year-old female presented with lump in right breast with previous history of silicone injection in Dubai. Conclusion: Awareness of potential imaging complications in this group of patients with ensure safe practice in their management.
