Breast cancer occurring following injection with polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAMG) for augmentation mammaplasty is rare. The present study reports the case of a 43-year-old female presenting with bilateral breast cancer 10 years after augmentation mammaplasty with PAMG injection and no family history of breast cancer.
Treatment of complications from polyacrylamide hydrogel
Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG) is a medical soft tissue filling agent utilized for the treatment of a variety of soft tissue defects. However, postoperative complications occur that have to be alleviated. The aim of the present study was to examine the treatments of postoperative complications of mammoplasty augmentation with PAHG.
The exact number of patients who have suffered from polyacrylamide hydrogel injection complications is unknown. However, the rising number of lawsuits in courts led the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration to call for an immediate ban on the production, sale and use of polyacrylamide hydrogel in 2006. 2
Complications from injectable materials used for breast
More recent efforts have included the injection of liquid silicone or polyacrylamide hydrogel. The current paper reviews four distinct eras of breast augmentation, and provides the current status of these injection materials. A case report is presented on a woman whose breasts were injected with polyacrylamide hydrogel in Iran.
Hydrogel filled implants or injectable hydrogel, for example polyacrylamide, have been in use since the 1990s.1 Various complications are seen following breast augmentation, including failure of the implant shell (where present) and spread of the implant material.

Discussion. Aquamid ® is a transparent hydrophilic PAAG composed of 97.5% pyrogenic water bound to 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide. It has been approved for sale in Europe since March 2001 as a new medical device (CE-mark 0543). Aquamid ® is stable, biologically inactive, pH neutral, non-toxic and non-resorbable because of the cross-linked polyacrylamide.
- Does Malaysia have a water deal with Singapore?
- Malaysia and Singapore have had their share of rows, but few have been as sensitive as the question of water. September 29 marked the 59th anniversary of the 1962 water agreement between the Malaysian state of Johor and Singapore, which was followed by a supplementary agreement in 1990.
- Does Singapore pay for treated water in Johor?
- In return, Johor is entitled to a daily supply of treated water of up to 2 per cent or 5 mgd of the water supplied to Singapore. Singapore pays 3 sen per thousand gallons of raw water, and sells treated water back to Johor at 50 sen per thousand gallons.
- Will Malaysia buy back raw water from Singapore?
- Under the current water agreement, which ends in 2061, Malaysia will provide 250 million gallons of raw water a day to Singapore at a rate of 3 sen (1 Singapore cent) per 1,000 gallons. In return, Malaysia will buy back the treated water from Singapore at a rate of 50 sen per 1,000 gallons.
- Does Malaysia have a good water supply?
- However, Malaysia does have plentiful natural water supplies. The main issue that needs to be addressed is improving state and federal regulations controlling the pollution of water supplies. Johor already reports five polluted river basins, mainly due to sewage contamination.
