title: [Clinical analysis of complications of polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammoplasty in 118 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the clinical manifestations and explore suitable treatments for the complications induced by polyacrylamide hydrogel(PAHG) injection for augmentation mammoplasty.
  
  
  METHODS
  The symptoms, physical signs and treatments of the 118 cases were analyzed and summarized.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The complications included in nodule formation (54.2%), pain (33.9%), PAHG migration (7.6%) and acute mastitis in lactation (4.3%). Satisfactory clinical treatment results have been obtained after suitable treatments.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The complications induced by PAHG injection for augmentation mammoplasty have increased following its widely use, the re-evaluation for this technique should be made, and more effective treatment should be considered.
