In this case report, we share our experience of a patient complaining of hard and asymmetric breasts who had received PAAG injections 7 years ago. Surprisingly, we found that the filler in the left breast had migrated to the left inguinal area. Although breast fillers have lost ground in recent years, we think that long-term complications of fillers, as observed in this case, will still arise in the future. Therefore, young plastic surgeons who do not have direct experience with this material should be aware of its possible complications.Jangyoun ChoiYe Sol KimDeuk Young OhKorean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeryarticlepolyacrylamide geldermal fillersforeign-body migrationmammaplastySurgeryRD1-811ENArchives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Vol 27, Iss 4, Pp 149-152 (2021)
