“…Transepidermal elimination of the product may occur. 82 Intralesional injections of corticosteroids or 5-fluorouracil 221 [251][252][253][254][255] Polyacrylamide hydrogel is a polymer hydrogel consisting of 2.5% polyacrylamide polymer backbone and 97.5% water and should be injected deeply into the subcutaneous fat, the muscle or into the supraperiosteal plane. 256 When medium to large quantities of this hydrogel are injected under pressure, a cellular foreign body reaction can be observed histologically, but clinically visible nodules are rarely seen in connection with these large deposits.…”

“…259 Other side effects of polyacrylamide hydrogel, described mostly in breast augmentation, include pigmentation of the skin surface caused by the periodic exacerbation of the protracted inflammatory process, hematoma, infections (Fig 28), indurations, lumps, mastodynia, unsatisfactory contour results, abnormal skin sensations, gel migration, and axillary lymphadenitis. [251][252][253][254][255][256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265] More severe, although rare, complications include bone erosion and facial ulceration. 266 Two cases of breast cancer occurring after injection of polyacrylamide hydrogel injections in augmented breasts have been also described, and although they did not appear to be etiologically related to the implant, a delayed detection and diagnosis because of its presence were recorded.…”
