  • Can polyacrylamide gel (PAAG) injection mimic breast augmentation?
  • Polyacrylamide gel (PAAG) injection remains an uncommon method of breast augmentation. Providers must recognize the clinical and radiological manifestations to optimize management. The clinical and radiological findingsofPAAG injection may mimic malignancyand silicone breastaugmentation.
  • Does polyacrylamide injection cause a recurrence of unprovoked expansion of breast tissue?
  • To the best of our knowledge, the presentation of a healthy female who experienced unprovoked expansion of breast tissue >15 years after polyacrylamide injection has not been previously reported in surgical literature. This suggests that serious complications of PAAG injection may occur later than the literature has previously described.
  • Are there gel remnants in breast augmentation?
  • Despite numerous surgical interventions, gel remnants are still found on subsequent breast imaging. Although PAAG is prohibited in many countries, different types of injections with unknown long-term effects are currently being used. Making the public aware of the problems of injectables for breast augmentation is warranted.
