My Surgeon is no longer in practice and I've lost my paperwork.
Answer: Implant identification information Hello,If your procedure was within the last 10 years the practice will likely have your information somewhere. You may be able to contact the surgeon and ask if the information is in storage or electronic file? If you registered your breast implants with the manufacturer after your procedure, they will have a record. Other than that, the device itself can be identified if removed.All the best

Answer: Implant info Hello, often surgeons and other physicians will leave their records with a medical record storage service. If the surgeon worked in a hospital or in a group you could call and ask them if this was the case.

Answer: Tracking down Breast Implant Information Hello and thank you for your question. If you are able to locate your records that would be the best. Medical records are required to be kept for 7 years. However, if you are unable to do this perhaps you are aware of the manufacturer of your implant (Mentor, Allergan or Sientra) that might be of help. Breast implant registry is not required however some offices will register their patients. If this is the case for you, you may be able to get your requested information. Good luck!

Answer: Tracking down implant information The first place to start is your plastic surgeon's office in case they still have your medical records. If not, then try the surgery center where you had the breast augmentation. They should have access to the records. Good luck.
