Abstract

Breast augmentation using implants is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic surgical procedures worldwide. It is considered to be a safe procedure, but requires general anesthesia and recovery can take time. The global aesthetic industry has been searching for a less invasive procedure to increase breast volume. Since 2018 a filler, Los Deline, is being used for breast augmentation. Surgeons at breast units in Stockholm have encountered and treated patients with complications after injections with this filler. The filler can cause breast deformities, infections and also has the ability to migrate. These complications can be severe and require several surgical treatments. We do not consider Los Deline to be a safe product for breast augmentation.
