Have had multiple MRIs done (high risk annual cancer screening). MRI notes potential inter capsule rupture on all MRIs since implants placed. Surgeon recommended an ultrasound to confirm rupture but I was denied the ultrasound because the radiologist said that not how ruptures are detected. Any suggestions?

Answer: An ultrasound can be done to detect ruptures Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.
