Abstrakt: Background: Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection for breast augmentation can result in a variety of complications, including implant migration. The migrated PAAG can become colonized by pathogens, resulting in secondary infections which can be extremely difficult to treat. Case Report: We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient who underwent PAAG injection for breast augmentation. Implant migration was diagnosed 8 years after the initial injection. Conclusion: Here, we report the first use of vacuum sealing drainage as a convenient and effective alternative to manage the complications of extensive PAAG migration after breast augmentation. © 2014 S.
