The patient is Ms. NTT (born in 1990). According to Ms. T., about 5 years ago, she went to a private cosmetic facility to have filler injected into her breasts to increase her bust size.

Until 2 months ago, she started to feel pain and swelling in both breasts, red areas and dilated blood vessels appeared on her skin. Thinking it was just a mild inflammation, she bought antibiotics to take but it did not help.

The condition became more and more serious, especially on the right breast, hard, hot areas appeared, increasing pain. A fistula formed on the nipple, continuously oozing white fluid with an unpleasant odor. Worried, she went to the 108 Military Central Hospital for examination.

At the hospital, ultrasound and MRI results showed that both breasts were severely damaged. Doctors discovered many scattered hypoechoic and anechoic foci in the subcutaneous fat layer and in the mammary glands, indicating abscesses.

The right breast had an inflammatory mass measuring about 70x15mm, with surrounding soft tissue infiltration. The left breast had even more serious damage, with a large inflammatory mass measuring 80x20mm, spreading throughout the breast parenchyma.

The doctor determined that the patient had multiple scattered abscesses, caused by an inflammatory and bacterial reaction from substandard silicone. The pus culture results showed the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, a type of bacteria that causes inflammation and tissue necrosis.

Faced with the critical condition, doctors performed an incision to drain the pus, suction out the inflammatory fluid and lumpy silicone, while trying to preserve as much breast tissue, areola and nipple as possible.

Doctor Hoang Thanh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Center for Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, 108 Central Military Hospital, said the patient was admitted to the hospital in a very serious condition.

The doctors had to remove the silicone and the abscess. After the surgery, the doctors drained more than 2 liters of blood, pus and silicone. The surgery ensured aesthetics and avoided leaving serious sequelae to the mammary gland function. The patient is currently being treated with antibiotics according to the antibiotic chart, and the surgical wound is being monitored and cared for.

According to cosmetic experts, liquid silicone has been banned from use in body filler injections for many years because of the high risk of complications, including inflammation, necrosis, clumping, and even cancer.

Doctors advise people not to get beauty treatments at unlicensed facilities or those with unknown origins of injectables. When you want breast augmentation or body contouring, you should go to reputable hospitals or clinics for advice and to choose a safe method.
