An accurate understanding of ultrasound findings of post-operative changes in breast cancer would be one of the most important areas of breast cancer surveillance. This is especially true when the ultrasound is performed by breast surgeons who have in-depth knowledge of oncoplastic breast surgery as it would be easier for them to distinguish between true recurrence of breast cancer and post-operative changes. In this article, the various but typical post-operative changes in breast cancer are described. These findings would be truly helpful to breast surgeons for the detection of early recurrence and treatment of post-operative complications.
