[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.
