Abstract
Background: High-frequency ultrasound is commonly used for evaluating breast filling materials and can be used to diagnose adverse reactions after breast augmentation procedures.
Methods: Breast ultrasound images obtained at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from January 2015 to February 2023 were analyzed and evaluated.
Results: A total of 595 patients who underwent breast augmentation procedures were included in this study: 195 patients underwent prosthetic breast augmentation; 308, autologous fat filling; 77, polyacrylamide hydrogel filling; 12, expander implantation; and 2, silicone oil filling. Ultrasound could reveal complications such as intracapsular rupture, extracapsular rupture, folding, fluid accumulation, and infection after prosthesis implantation. Ultrasound could also show pathological manifestations such as necrosis, calcification, and infection of autologous fat after autologous fat transplantation and displacement, extravasation, calcification, and infection after polyacrylamide hydrogel implantation.
Conclusions: High-frequency ultrasound plays an important role in the identification of breast filler materials and the diagnosis of complications after breast augmentation procedures.
Level of evidence ii: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266 .
期刊介绍:
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a publication of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the official journal of the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS), Società Italiana di Chirurgia Plastica Ricostruttiva ed Estetica (SICPRE), Vereinigung der Deutschen Aesthetisch Plastischen Chirurgen (VDAPC), the Romanian Aesthetic Surgery Society (RASS), Asociación Española de Cirugía Estética Plástica (AECEP), La Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora (SACPER), the Rhinoplasty Society of Europe (RSE), the Iranian Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (ISPAS), the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons (SAPS), the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the Egyptian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ESPRS), and the Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética (SCCP).
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.
