Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze ultrasonographic features for the complications of breast augmentation with polyamide hydrogel injection. METHODS: Clinical study was made for 101 patients who had received the polyamide hydrogel injection for augmentation mammoplasty by using the ultrasonographic examination. RESULTS: The 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. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasonography may be of great diagnostic value for the complications of breast augmentation with polyamide hydrogel injection.
