Sydney Breast Implant Check Service

Why You Need Regular Breast Implant Checks

Look, modern implants are pretty good, but they’re not going to last forever. The smart thing to do is stay ahead of any potential issues before they become real problems.

Here’s why regular checks matter:

• Catching silent ruptures early: These can happen without you even knowing. Finding them early means you’ve got more options and less stress later.
• Spotting capsular contracture: This is when scar tissue gets a bit too enthusiastic and starts tightening around your implant. Your breast might feel harder or look different. Catching it early gives you better treatment choices.
• Peace of mind: Honestly, there’s nothing quite like knowing a specialist has given you the all-clear. You can get on with enjoying your results.
• Keeping your look: By staying on top of things, we can help make sure your breasts continue looking as good as they did after your original surgery.

What Actually Happens During Your Check

I know some people worry about what’s involved, but we’ve really tried to make this as straightforward as possible. From the moment you walk in, we’re focused on making sure you feel comfortable.

Your breast implant check will typically include:

1. A proper chat with Dr. Drielsma: This is your chance to talk through any changes you’ve noticed or concerns you might have. We’ll also go over your original surgery details if you’ve got them handy.
2. A gentle examination: Dr. Drielsma will carefully check your breasts and implants. With over 30 years of experience, he’s pretty good at picking up on subtle changes that might indicate an issue.
3. Discussion about imaging if needed: Depending on what he finds and your history, Dr. Drielsma might suggest some additional scans. He’ll explain exactly why and what we’re looking for.
4. Your personalized plan: You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s going on with your implants and what we recommend going forward.

Why Experience Matters

When it comes to breast implant checks in Sydney, you want someone who really knows what they’re doing. Dr. Drielsma is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon who’s been doing this for decades. His approach is all about putting patients first and making sure everything is done safely.

We use the latest diagnostic tools to get the clearest picture possible:

• High-resolution ultrasound: This is great for looking at the implant surface and checking for any fluid buildup around the implant.
• MRI scanning: This is probably the best way to definitively check if silicone implants are intact. The images are incredibly detailed and can confirm whether there’s a rupture or not.

Dr. Drielsma and the team combine all this experience with the most reliable technology we can get our hands on.
