ABSTRACT
Many injection materials have been used in cosmetic surgery for soft-tissue contour correction or breast augmentation. In China, Amazingel injection mammaplasty had been used widely because the procedure was non-invasive and easy to perform. But, numerous complications have been reported after injection of Amazingel composed of polyacrylamide gel such as breast pain, hardening, deformity, lump, gel migration, etc. In this article, we report a case of a 37-year-old Chinese female who complained of breast discomfort and deformity after Amazingel injection. We safely eliminated Amazingel and reconstructed the breasts with silicone implants. We could achieve aesthetically tolerable results.
