title: [Ultrasonographic value for the complications of breast augmentation with injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel technique].
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.
