Contact UsWhat is Breast Implant Surveillance?
Breast implants are not meant to last a lifetime. The life of breast implants varies by person, and all breast implant patients might face additional surgeries. Dr. Lindsey is certified in breast implant ultrasound imaging surveillance as a clinical tool to assess breast implants for problems including ruptures and fluid collection. When you have your consultation at Highland Park Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Lindsey will discuss the use of breast implant surveillance for routine follow-up. If you have had implants placed by a previous surgeon we also offer convenient in-office surveillance exams. Contact our office in Southlake, TX to learn more.
What Can I Expect With Breast Implant Surveillance?
Implant rupture can be a complication of breast augmentation surgery. Often ruptures are "silent," and no symptoms appear. Dr. Lindsey Tavakolian at Highland Park Plastic Surgery Center follows The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation that women with silicone implants check them with ultrasound imaging starting 5 - 6 years after the original surgery and every 2 - 3 years thereafter.
Ultrasounds are incredibly safe and are a trusted method when it comes to breast implant surveillance. Dr. Lindsey has been trained and certified in breast implant surveillance with ultrasound imaging. A breast ultrasound is not painful and usually takes just a few minutes to complete.
