Can an ultrasound show if an implant was ruptured?

Ultrasound is not a gold standard for detecting ruptures of silicone implants. However, it could sometimes detect a rupture if is really obvious on images but it could misread and have false ruptures. MRI is the gold standard. If you want to replace your implants, I wouldn't get any imaging since your surgeon can see if there is a rupture once the implants are out.

Thanks for your question!
Ultrasound can evaluate the integrity of the implant, a rupture, or any damage. Reach out to your surgeon to get one scheduled. Best wishes!

Yes often times a breast ultrasound can determine if a breast implant has ruptured. If there is a question further testing may be necessary. Visit with your surgeon for an evaluation. The symptoms you describe do not necessarily indicate a rupture.
