Macrolane VRF®, a biodegradable, stabilized hyaluronic acid gel, was used for breast enhancement 2008–2012. Even after more than 4 years, small amounts of Macrolane can still be visible on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound in some patients similar to permanent implants, the presence of Macrolane gel may interfere with interpretation of mammography. Knowledge of the product’s appearance on radiological assessment of breasts following Macrolane treatment is therefore required. It is possible to assess the vast majority of patients using a combination of digital mammography and ultrasonography examination.
