More about TelehealthWith breast implants, you should have regular checks to identify and treat any problems – such as rupture, leak, capsular contractor and rare breast implant-related lymphoma – before they pose a risk to your health and wellbeing.
The multidisciplinary team at MQ Health’s Integrated Breast Implant Check Clinic in Sydney provides a world-class breast implant check service. This quick, convenient service is offered by leading physicians and was established following groundbreaking research undertaken at Macquarie University, which showed low-grade infection around breast implants is a major cause of breast implant illness and other complications.
Most women were probably followed up by their surgeon for a few years afterwards, and then not at all. It is important to have lifelong follow-ups as problems can occur many years after surgery – including a rare implant-associated lymphoma.
Breast implants have a powerful and positive impact in patients' lives when placed at the right time. As a female I recognise that times can change and so do our bodies, implants do too. Implants don't last forever and there may come a time where they need replacing or removal. As your surgeon I can work through the best option for now, for you.
The risk of breast implant rupture increases with time. The latest research – undertaken by Professor Anand Deva, a world-leading expert at MQ Health and Macquarie University – found a link between sub-clinical infection, biofilm formation and capsular contracture.
This suggests that women with breast implants should receive regular lifelong checkups to reduce the risk of complications. Professors Deva has developed a 14-Point Plan to reduce the risk of implant contamination, which is followed at your breast implant check.
