At The Layt Clinic.
A detailed medical history, discussion of any concerns, and review of information about your implants and general health.
A physical assessment to check for changes in the breast tissue, implant position or scarring.
Where appropriate, ultrasound assesses the implant capsule for rupture, fluid collections or other abnormalities.
The doctors explain results clearly, provide reassurance and, if needed, discuss next steps such as MRI or treatment options.
It’s generally advisable to consider a breast implant review if:
Implants are not lifetime devices and may need review after 10–15 years; ageing implants can develop small ruptures best identified with imaging.
If you notice a change in appearance, position or feel, our surgeons can assess whether it’s a normal age-related change or something needing attention.
When the scar tissue around an implant tightens or hardens it can change breast shape or feel; early review helps assess severity and options.
Patients treated overseas may lack follow-up or documentation; we can review implants clinically and with ultrasound at 5 years and every 2–3 years.
For symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog or joint pain, our team offers guidance, medical assessment and discussion of management options.
A very rare lymphoma linked to certain textured implants; watch for sudden swelling, firmness or fluid, and we can arrange appropriate imaging or testing.
Even with no symptoms, a professional review confirms all is well and provides a baseline for future monitoring.
At 5 years
Governing bodies recommend implants are checked 5 years after implantation, with a clinical and ultrasound examination.
Every 2–3 years
After the first check, repeat every 2 to 3 years thereafter.
