ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To search for a simple and non-invasive method to assist the treatment of the complications of breast augmentation with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection.METHODS:
High-frequency ultrasound was used to examine the breast and observe the distributions of the injected polyacrylamide hydrogel. The operation procedure was predetermined according to the ultrasound information. The ultrasound results were compared with what was seen during the operation.RESULTS:
40 patients (80 breasts) were examined. The ultrasound results were coincident with the outcomes of surgery. The results of postoperative follow-up were coincident with the predicted.CONCLUSION:
Ultrasound is an accurate method for examining the augmented breast with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection. It is helpful in predetermining the operation procedure, predicting postoperative results.
