DOCTOR IS AWESOME,STAFFIS FANTASTIC....OVERALL FABULOUS EXPERIENCE ON EVERYTHING I HAVE HAD DONE WITH DR.EICHENBERG
I took my time and researched the procedures that interested me, then spent many hours cold calling, scrolling thru internet sites for said services, interviewing/meeting with physicians and their staff. And it paid off, that’s how I found Dr. Hill. He is an artist, skilled beyond description. His staff are highly educated and motivated individuals whom always kept my health and comfort a priority. His surgical team are the elite of their profession, many military veterans, and added comfort. Dr Hill and all the members of Renuance changed my life. I feel very close to them all, and am so thankful to have made this journey in their very graceful company. Dr Hill IS THE BEST!
Dr Ford, is so pleasant and always takes the time to answer all my questions. I only go to her for injections.

Breast Implant Imaging FAQs

Why do I need breast implant imaging if I feel fine?

Silicone implant ruptures are often “silent,” meaning you may not feel any symptoms when they occur. The FDA recommends regular imaging specifically because ruptures can go undetected for years. Early detection allows for timely intervention and prevents complications.

How often should I have breast implant imaging?

The FDA recommends breast implant imaging 5 years after your initial surgery, then every 2-3 years thereafter for silicone implants. Your plastic surgeon may recommend more frequent monitoring based on your individual risk factors or concerns.

What's the difference between ultrasound and MRI for implant imaging?

While MRI has traditionally been the gold standard, advanced ultrasound technology like our Butterfly iQ3 provides excellent visualization of implant integrity. Ultrasound is more convenient, less expensive, and doesn’t require contrast agents or lengthy appointments.

Will the imaging hurt?

No, breast implant ultrasound imaging is completely painless. You’ll simply lie comfortably while our specialist applies gel and moves the ultrasound probe over your breast area. Most patients find the experience similar to pregnancy ultrasounds.

What happens if a problem is detected?

If we identify any issues with your implants, we’ll discuss your options, which may include monitoring, breast implant revision/exchange, or complete implant removal. As board-certified plastic surgeons, we can provide complete care from diagnosis through surgical correction in our accredited facility.

Can this imaging detect breast cancer?

This imaging does not replace regular mammograms or breast cancer screening recommended by your primary care physician.

Do I need this if I have saline implants?

The FDA monitoring recommendations specifically apply to silicone implants. Saline implant ruptures are immediately obvious because the implant deflates. Imaging may be helpful if there is concern about fluid around the implants. 

How long does the imaging appointment take?

The actual imaging typically takes 15-30 minutes. Including consultation time and discussion of results, plan for about 45-60 minutes for your complete appointment.

Is breast implant imaging covered by insurance?

Breast implant imaging is typically considered a cosmetic screening service and is usually not covered by insurance. We offer transparent pricing and flexible financing options through CareCredit and PatientFi to make this important health monitoring affordable and accessible.

What should I do to prepare for my imaging appointment?

No special preparation is needed. Simply avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorants to your chest area on the day of your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the chest area.

Is ultrasound imaging safe?

Yes, ultrasound imaging is completely safe and uses no radiation. Unlike X-rays, CT scans, or other imaging methods that use ionizing radiation, ultrasound uses only sound waves to create images. This makes it safe for repeated monitoring as recommended by the FDA.
