Implant Checkups
After breast augmentation surgery, many individuals may delay their regular breast screenings due to concerns about the pressure applied during exams.
However, regular checkups and post-surgery care are crucial.
Neglecting routine screenings and follow-up care can lead to delayed detection of breast cancer,
as well as complications related to the implants, such as:
Capsular contracture (the formation of scar tissue around the implant)
Mammotome Surgery After Breast Augmentation
In breast augmentation, implants are positioned at the back of the breast tissue, usually bordered by the chest muscle, though there are areas where the muscle does not fully cover the implant. This requires extra caution during procedures.
At Privee Breast Clinic, we use the expertise and extensive clinical experience of our surgical specialists to perform Mammotome surgery with precision. We ensure that the implant and surrounding tissue are not damaged, focusing only on accurately removing the lesion.
We promise a safe and effective procedure, giving you the peace of mind that your health and implants are in good hands.
Dual-Plane (Under the Muscle)
Implant Placement
When breast implants are placed under the muscle,
it is referred to as the dual-plane method
Subfascial (Above the Muscle)
Implant Placement
When breast implants are placed above the muscle but beneath the fascia (the connective tissue layer),
it is referred to as subfascial placement
Breast Screening After Breast Augmentation
In addition to breast augmentation using implants, other procedures such as fat grafting and filler-based breast enhancement are becoming increasingly popular.
With fat grafting, the fat is typically injected into the layers of tissue above and below the glandular tissue (the subcutaneous fat layer and the glandular fat layer).
However, in some cases, fat may be injected directly into the glandular tissue itself.
This can sometimes create lumps or masses on breast ultrasound that resemble breast lumps,
making it more challenging to distinguish between natural tissue and grafted fat.
Calcification in Breast Tissue
In the case of calcification, it can be difficult to differentiate between calcified deposits and other potential issues within the breast tissue during mammography
Breast Filler Surgery
In the case of breast filler surgery, potential complications such as filler displacement, inflammation, or the formation of granulomas can occur. If these side effects arise, it is crucial to make an early diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment.
Post-Surgery Implant Check-up
Recent silicone implants are designed to contain any ruptures within the capsule, making it difficult to visually detect changes or complications.
In some cases, tumors have developed within the capsule itself.
Therefore, it is essential to visit a specialized breast clinic for a detailed annual check-up to receive an accurate diagnosis and monitor the condition of the implants.
