ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of the complications after breast augmentation with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MRI was performed in 16 patients who had breast augmentation with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection. The results of magnetic resonance imaging were compared with the clinical symptoms.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>MRI examinations of the 16 patients showed that (1) 4 breasts in 2 patients were comparatively natural; (2) a large lacteal cyst was detected in one patients in lactation; (3) breast asymmetry occurred in 3 patients (6 sides); (4) in 10 patients (20 sides), the injected gel was in irregular form. The results of MRI were in accord with the clinical symptoms.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>MRI is of great diagnostic value for the complications after breast augmentation with polyacrylamide hydrogel injection.</p>
