چکیده
BACKGROUND Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection for breast augmentation can result in a variety of complications, including implant migration. The migrated PAAG can become colonized by pathogens, resulting in secondary infections which can be extremely difficult to treat. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient who underwent PAAG injection for breast augmentation. Implant migration was diagnosed 8 years after the initial injection. CONCLUSION Here, we report the first use of vacuum sealing drainage as a convenient and effective alternative to manage the complications of extensive PAAG migration after breast augmentation.
