Evaluating the safety, efficacy, and risk factors of different strategies for breast reconstruction following polyacrylamide hydrogel removal: A 20-year retrospective cohort study of 436 cases
DBR is a safe and effective solution for secondary breast deformities after PAAG removal. Notably, patients with prolonged injection histories, previous aspiration history, Baker Grade II/III/IV, and MRI evidence of gel infiltration into glandular tissues are at a higher risk for postoperative complications. These findings may be beneficial for optimizing strategies to manage patients with PAAG injections in clinical practice.
