Implant Clinic

Breast implants require regular monitoring - ideally every 12 months - yet many patients only seek checks when problems arise. Some avoid screenings altogether, worried that mammograms might damage their implants.

However, the risk of implant complications can increase over time. Routine check-ups are essential, not just for cancer screening but for overall implant health.

The Implant Clinic, led under expert Oncoplastic Specialist A/Prof David Littlejohn, offers a specialised service for patients with breast implants. Patients can feel confident in our skilled imaging team who are highly experienced in breast implant imaging and take great care to ensure comfort, accuracy and safety.

Implants don’t last forever, and it is important to be aware of the potential complications with regular and thorough checkups. Issues assessed include, but are not limited to:

• Capsular contracture (hardening of the breast around the implant)
• Implant malposition (rotation and or high-riding implant)
• Breast deformity or loss of symmetry
• Implant rupture (clinical and sub clinical)
• Infection (clinical and sub clinical)
• Implant related illness
• Rippling
• Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL)
