Since silicone gel breast implant ruptures are silent and don’t cause symptoms, they can go undetected for a very long time.
Even though an MRI is recommended to check for ruptures three years after surgery and every two years after that, most people don’t do it because MRIs are pricey and not exactly convenient.
High-definition ultrasound is a more accessible, affordable alternative to an MRI. Routine ultrasounds every 2 to 3 years are a smart way to stay ahead of any issues with your breast implants, and yearly follow-ups offer extra peace of mind.
San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar helps us understand what breast ultrasounds can (and can’t) reveal, how to know if your implant is ruptured, and what to do if something’s not right.
