Abstract
Breast augmentation is one of most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures. Pneumothorax has been reported as a rare complication of breast augmentation but the incidence is not known. Our patient presented with dyspnea on exertion about 6 days following breast augmentation. She was found to have cardiac tamponade and pneumothorax. We present a case of cardiac tamponade following breast augmentation, a previously unreported complication.
