title: Breast prosthesis: Management of patients after plastic surgery.
abstract: Breast augmentation and breast reconstruction are increasingly common operations. All radiologists need to be able to recognize the normal appearances of the more commonly used implants on various imaging modalities and breast radiologists in particular are facing new challenges when imaging the women involved. This work aims to review the normal and abnormal findings in women undergoing breast implant surgery using ultrasonography, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
