[The treatment for complications of polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammaplasty by dual-plane breast augmentation].

[OBJECTIVE] To search for the perfect therapy for the complications of breast augmentation by injecting polyacrylamide hydrogel.

[METHODS] 15 patients whose complications were severe after hydrogel injection were included in this study. Open suction and irrigation of cavity were performed in all patients and all received immediately dual-plane augmentation mammaplasty with silicon gel prostheses.

[RESULTS] 12 patient were followed up for 3 months to 1 year (mean 6.8 months) and no malposition or deformation occurred. 10 patients (20 breasts) had satisfactory results. The edges of the implant shell could be felt in 2 patients (3 breasts). 1 patient (1 breast) with breast firmness ranked Baker II .

[CONCLUSIONS] The dual-plane breast augmentation is a valuable technique to treat the complications of polyacrylamide hydrogel injection.
