Hi I wanna know after breast augmemtation should do mri or any especific checkup every year?
Answer: Breast implant monitoring recommendations. The current recommendations from the FDA as well as the American Society Of Plastic Surgeons, recommends a ultrasound or MRI five or six years after your augmentation and then every two or three years after that to check for the integrity of your implants. These are recommendations and some patients choose to follow them, and other patients choose to not follow them. Self examinations are encouraged to monitor for any changes which may indicate the need for an US or MRI.

Answer: Breast augmentation follow up After your first annual follow up there is no specific need for you to do anything further or have testing unless you are having an issue. Some surgeons like to see their patients annually for a follow up just to make there are no new questions or concerns, while others don't feel it's necessary. Your surgeon will advise what is recommended for you.

Answer: Breasts Yearly MRI's are not recommended by the FDA and will be expensive. What is recommended is a yearly visit with your plastic surgeon. In the first 10 years, an ultrasound or mammogram should be done every 3 years. From years 10-20, this should be done every other year. Once your implants are 20 years old, then a yearly examination with ultrasound or mammography is advised. Ultrasounds give no radiation exposure. Too much radiation can cause breast cancer,
