Abstract
Summary:
With the emergence of state-of-the art implant technology and advanced surgical techniques, plastic surgeons face challenging problems, such as identification of a specific type of a device and diagnosis of postoperative complications, in managing patients undergoing implant-based augmentation mammaplasty. In this article, the authors introduce a novel method for characterizing a breast implant based on diverse factors (eg, filler properties, type of pocket, surface topography, shape type, and manufacturer of the device) and detecting the presence and scope of rupture using high-resolution ultrasound.
