If you have silicone implants, you should monitor them over time. The FDA recommends implant evaluations three to five years after implantation and then every few years thereafter. Traditional imaging methods like mammograms are not always ideal for detecting issues with silicone implants—they simply do not capture everything. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an excellent technique for detecting ruptures, but they can be expensive. With High-Resolution Ultrasound (HRS), an advanced, noninvasive imaging technique, you can precisely and safely examine your implants right in our office.
HRUS allows Dr. DeLuca-Pytell to see if an implant is ruptured. This quick, painless procedure allows for imaging of your implants so you can make informed decisions about your health. To learn more, schedule a consultation with Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell, Your Girlfriend the Plastic Surgeon®, today.
HRUS is a cutting-edge, noninvasive imaging technology that provides real time images of silicone implants. Unlike mammograms, HRUS uses sound waves to create clear images of the implants without causing discomfort or radiation exposure.
Dr. DeLuca-Pytell advises that patients with silicone breast implants get regular HRUS screenings because they are an excellent tool for assessing implant health. With HRUS, you can gain a clear picture of your implant condition in just a few minutes, all while staying relaxed and comfortable.
One significant benefit of HRUS is its ability to detect silicone breast implant ruptures. By providing a detailed view of the implant’s structure, it can reveal the presence of ruptures, even in their earliest stages.
Catching these small ruptures early on can make all the difference in preventing more severe complications. Using HRUS to monitor your implants regularly, you can address any potential issues before they escalate, allowing you to maintain your confidence and peace of mind.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell offers HRUS as part of yearly follow-up for all her silicone implant surgical patients. Dr. DeLuca-Pytell provides these evaluations annually at no cost to her patients, and also accepts patients from other surgeons for a nominal fee..
