OBJECTIVETo investigate the significance of using high-frequency 2-dimonsional ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography in the following-up of breast bulging operation.

METHODS7-11 MHz high-frequency 2-dimonsional ultrasonography and color Doppler ultrasonography were used on 18 patients, whose one or two breasts had abnormal symptom after breast bulging operation.

RESULTSImplants or blood swelling which took on a bag have no or low echo district, its margin is clear, regular and has a clear boundary line with the tissue around breast. The breaking and oozing, outing, moving, infection of implants, blood swelling, and sclerosis of wrapping membrane after breast bulging operation have special 2-dimonsional voice picture and the tissue around it has more or less color blood picture and Doppler frequency expression.

CONCLUSIONTechnique of shadow-picture Ultrasonography has great diagnose value and clinical significance in the detection of complications after breast bulging operation.
