Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo analyze ultrasonographic features for the complications of breast augmentation with polyamide hydrogel injection.
METHODSClinical study was made for 101 patients who had received the polyamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammoplasty by using the ultrasonographic examination.
RESULTSThe 195 treated breasts in 98 patients suffered from injectable layer disorder, 1 breast for hematoma, 7 breasts in 5 patients for abscess (infection), 2 breasts in 2 patients for cancer and 3 breasts in 3 patients for fibroadenomas.
CONCLUSIONSUltrasonography may be of great diagnostic value for the complications of breast augmentation with polyamide hydrogel injection.
