Complication of Ruptured Poly Implant Proth èse ® Breast Implants Combined with AQUAfilling ® Gel Injection: A Case Report and Literature Review

ConclusionsSurgeons should be careful in performing AQUAfilling® gel injection for breast augmentation, especially when combined with breast implant insertion. AQUAfilling® gel itself is not yet proven safe in the long term, so more research on this topic is warranted. Additionally, surgeons should be aware of the comparatively high risk of implant rupture and foreign body reaction with PIP implants, and warn patients accordingly.Level of Evidence VThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
