Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are many therapies for correction of complications following augmentation mammoplasty with silicone gel implants.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of second augmentation mammoplasty on patients with complications following augmentation mammoplasty with silicone gel implants.
METHODS: Nineteen patients with displacement of implants, breasts sagging or capsular contracture at 6 months to 8 years secondary to augmentation mammoplasty with silicone gel implants were selected from the Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2005 to September 2009. The silicone prosthesis was placed into the interspace of the pectoralis major from a specially designed incision, and 50 mg triamcinolone acetonide acetate injection and 160 mg gentamycin sulfate injection were injected into the cavity in one stage.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All the deformations of 19 cases disappeared at 8-10 weeks, and displacement of implants, breasts sagging and capsular contracture were not observed. All the 19 cases were followed up for over 6 months, and the effects were satisfactory.
