About

Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) has been used as an injectable filler for soft tissue augmentation in different parts of the body , such as face, breast , or even penis for more than a decade . However, there are never reports about the application of a large amount of PAAG in epicranial aponeurosis to change the contour of the upper cranium accompanied with leukocytopenia.
