Abstract |
Breast enhancement is usually achieved through insertion of alloplastic implants. Such procedures are invasive, need general anesthesia, take a long down-time and carry risks of complication such as infection, capsular contracture, rupture of implants, leakeage, and displacement. But the high purity and biocompatible nature of hyaluronic acid(HA) gel, together with its combination of biodegradability and long-term persistency following implantation make it an attractive material for breast enhancement. Subglandular injection of HA gel was found to be well tolerated, and high rates of patient satisfaction with out any serious complication. |
