[Analysis and treatment of the complications post polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammaplasty].

OBJECTIVE: To inquire into the reason why the postoperative complications of augmentation mammaplasty by injecting polyacrylamide hydrogel took place and to find the best method to deal with the complications. METHODS: 12 patients who accepted polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammaplasty were included in this study. Operations were performed to remove the polyacrylamide hydrogel. RESULTS: All patients didn't argue with the result, but the outside shape of mamma was not good post-operation. CONCLUSIONS: So-called standard injection method can't avoid the postoperative complications. The considerable therapy for the complications of polyacrylamide hydrogel was removing it by operation.
