Breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, but regular monitoring is essential to ensure their integrity and your overall well-being. Over time, changes in your body or implants may occur, some of which may not present obvious symptoms. Our Breast Implant Check-Up service is tailored for patients who had their breast augmentation five or more years ago, offering a thorough evaluation to confirm that your implants are functioning as they should.
At Kanata Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that peace of mind is priceless. That’s why we’ve created this specialized service to provide clarity and reassurance in a compassionate, patient-centered environment. Our on-site private surgical facility in Ottawa ensures a discreet, comfortable experience, with a team of board-certified plastic surgeons who prioritize your health and satisfaction. Whether you’re noticing changes or simply want to stay proactive, our check-up is designed to give you confidence in your long-term results.
Your Breast Implant Check-Up is a comprehensive appointment that combines a detailed consultation to evaluate the condition of your breast implants. Priced at $200, this service is an investment in your health and confidence, offering a clear picture of your implants’ status and personalized guidance on any next steps.
A silent rupture occurs when a breast implant, particularly a silicone implant, develops a tear or hole without causing noticeable symptoms. Using ultrasound imaging, we can detect internal changes to ensure your implants remain intact. Early detection is key to preventing complications.
This condition involves the hardening of the scar tissue (capsule) around the implant, which can lead to firmness, discomfort, or distortion of the breast’s appearance. We’ll evaluate the degree of capsular contracture, if present, and discuss whether monitoring or intervention, such as implant removal or replacement, is appropriate.
Rippling occurs when the implant’s surface becomes visible under the skin, while animation deformity refers to unnatural movement of the implant during muscle contraction. These concerns can affect the aesthetic outcome of your augmentation. We’ll assess these issues and explore solutions, such as fat grafting or implant exchange, to restore a smooth, natural look.
Over time, natural aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy can cause breast tissue to sag or change, impacting the appearance of your implants. During your check-up, we’ll evaluate whether a breast lift or other procedures could enhance your shape and rejuvenate your results.
Questions about Breast Implant Illness or Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) are common, and we’re here to provide clear, evidence-based answers. We’ll discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing and review the latest research to address your concerns with care and transparency.
If your check-up reveals any issues or if you’re considering a change, we’ll outline your options. For some, this may mean continuing to monitor their implants. For others, it could involve exploring procedures like breast implant removal, fat grafting, or updating to new implants for a refreshed look. Our goal is to empower you with the information and support needed to make confident decisions.
