Abstract:Objective To explore the feasibility and conclude experience of a minimally-invasive operation for removing the injected augmentation mammaplasty agent. Methods Among the 54 patients who had breast augmentation mammaplasty by injection of polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG), 32 patients who had the removal of PAHG by minimally-invasive vaccum-assisted rotary cutting system were taken as the observation group, and 22 patients who had the PAHG removal by open surgery were into the control group. The operation methods, effects and experiences were compared between the two groups. Results The operative time and hospital stay were significantly shorter, the blood loss was significantly less in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.01). The postoperative complication rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The excellent rate of cosmetic results and the degree of satisfaction in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05) after a follow-up of 3 months. Conclusions Minimally-invasive system is better for removal of polyacrylamide hydrogel than open surgery.
