“…These procedures are especially applicable for patients with a long history of augmentation mammoplasty because the capsule is thick and the fluid is difficult to extravasate. Our findings also indicated not all patients received PAAG injection in the retromammary space [1,18,36]. Thus, there were some nodules in the breast tissues and pectoralis major fascia, which are difficult to remove, and the removal of these nodules may cause damage to surrounding normal tissues.…”

“…In the past century, many plastic surgeons and scientists in related fields made great efforts to develop atoxic materials to reconstruct a natural-looking breast [18–20]. Soft-tissue augmentation is a momentous procedure in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.…”

“…Therefore, the prevention and treatment of complications following breast augmentation are of great importance. In as early as 1899, soft paraffin injection was introduced for nose and breast augmentation [18,20]. It was not until the 1930s that Vaseline injection was widely applied for soft-tissue augmentation.…”

“…It was not until the 1930s that Vaseline injection was widely applied for soft-tissue augmentation. However, granuloma commonly developed within 6~8 years after augmentation, and has been a main complication of this technique [18,21]. In 1959, liquid silicone injection was introduced for breast augmentation.…”

“…Similarly, inflammatory reactions (lumps, redness, pain, etc) would develop within 2 weeks to 2 years, and some patients even presented purulence, ulceration or tumor-like granuloma [22–28]. In the transplantation with free dermis-fat and fat-fascia tissues for breast augmentation due to flat chest or small breasts, the grafts are often partially absorbed and complications such as fibrous degeneration, tissue liquefaction and scleroma frequently occur, which significantly limit the wide application of this technique [6,18,29]. These results suggest that simple, effective and minimally invasive techniques for breast augmentation using safe and durable materials are lacking [30,31].…”

SummaryBackgroundIncreasing complications of polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) augmentation mammoplasty, such as chronic persistent infection, have recently caught the attention of both the medical field and the general public.Material/MethodsA total of 96 patients with severe chronic infection following PAAG augmentation mammoplasty were treated in the present study including 63 cases with infection confined to the breast and 33 with systemic infection. Endoscopy and surgery were performed to completely remove the materials and clear the infected tissues followed by drug-irrigation and vacuum-assisted closure for several days.ResultsIn patients with severe infection there were large amounts of PAAG, fibers and infiltration of numerous neutrophils and macrophages. The infection-inducing materials were extensively dispersed in the mammary and subcutaneous tissues, pectoral fascia and intermuscular space. In addition, there was scattered distribution of PAAG materials in the armpit, chest wall and abdominal wall, which were mixed with necrotic tissues and surrounded by lymphocytes, giant cells, macrophages and other inflammatory cells, forming chronic granulomatous and fibrous lesions. Infection was controlled following surgical intervention. No residual infectious foci or recurrent infections were noted among these patients. Although the severe infection did not result in mastectomy, patients had breast atrophy and various degrees of deformation.ConclusionsChronic infection following PAAG augmentation mammaplasty usually causes systemic infection and other devastating adverse reactions. This study confirms PAAG augmentation mammaplasty is another failed attempt. More attention should be paid to the injection of large doses of liquid filler.

The perfect breast implant fillant material would have higher viscosity than water and would be autologous and harmless. We describe the confinement of liposuction fat in implants using the Lipovacutainer during a routine liposuction procedure. This collected fat is prepared inside the Lipovacutainer and is reinjected through a Lipomedia filling cannula into a leaf valve implant as the fillant in place of saline. The implants are used for bilateral augmentation mammoplasty and breast reconstruction procedures. Our six clinical cases have been monitored closely using mammography and MRI. These cases showed slow liquefaction without interference with mammography studies. We obtained excellent overall body contours. All complications were correctable and non-life-threatening and there was no capsule formation.
