In the event of an adverse event with your saline or silicone breast implant or a breast implant rupture, it is important that you act quickly and decisively under the care of a trusted provider. Please contact Ennis Plastic Surgery at 561-266-4344 to book a consultation or ask us a question.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices and as such, Ennis Plastic Surgery is prepared to expertly handle ruptures or other issues that necessitate removal or replacement.
We know that you do not take cosmetic surgery lightly and, as we share important information that concerns your health and safety in the short and long term, you continue to get regular health exams and maintain an excellent state of overall well-being.
It is important to note that ruptures may or may not be obvious and that saline and silicone implants differ greatly in this respect. To that end, it is recommended that patients with silicone breast implants get MRIs to screen for ruptures. Allergan, the nation’s leading manufacturer of breast implants, conducts on-going research and through this deep scientific data suggests that patients get an MRI at 3 years post-breast surgery and then every 2 years after that.
If you suspect a breast implant rupture, contact us to make an appointment with your plastic surgeon and go over your options. Our goal is a happy, healthy you every step of your journey.
