Abstract: 
We discuss the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass M and central charge Z of supersymmetric (susy) solitons: the kink, the vortex and the monopole. Contrary to previous expectations and published results, in each of these cases there are nonvanishing quantum corrections to the mass. For the N = 1 kink and the N = 2 monopole a new anomaly in Z rescues BPS saturation (M = Z) ; for the N = 2 vortex, BPS saturation isscued for two reasons: (i) the quantum fluctuations of the Higgs field acquire a nontrivial phase due to the winding of the classical solution, and (ii) a fermionic zero mode used in the literature is shown not to be normalizable.
