The latter is rarely reported, and its aetiology remains a subject of ongoing debate with proposed mechanisms including direct trauma and capsular microfracture. We present a case in which low velocity blunt chest wall trauma precipitated concurrent implant rupture and late peri-implant haematoma 17\u00a0years following cosmetic breast augmentation (outside the perioperative period), in a patient with severe capsular contracture, requiring complex single-stage revisional surgery. This case contributes to the limited body of evidence on late postoperative complications of cosmetic breast augmentation in particular and implant-based breast surgery in general and highlights the diagnostic challenges inherent to the \u2018silent rupture\u2019 phenomenon. Clinicians should maintain a low threshold for implant assessment following blunt chest trauma, regardless of the velocity of the inciting injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag411","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T12:08:47Z","timestamp":1778760527000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Blunt
