A Convenient, Comfortable, & Affordable Alternative to MRI

Silicone breast implants are among the most popular cosmetic enhancements, offering transformative results. However, ensuring these implants' ongoing integrity and safety is vital for your long-term health and peace of mind.

Traditionally, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been the preferred method for evaluating implants, mainly to detect complications such as rupture or leakage. Today, state-of-the-art ultrasound devices, specifically the Clarius ultrasound system, offer a convenient, comfortable, and more affordable alternative.

The Clarius Ultrasound is a portable, high-definition device that provides clear imaging of soft tissues. Unlike bulky hospital machines, it connects to smartphones or tablets, offering healthcare professionals real-time, convenient implant evaluations.

How Does the Clarius Ultrasound System Evaluate Implant Integrity?

During the assessment, one of our experienced specialists gently moves the ultrasound probe across the breast surface, capturing detailed, high-resolution images of the implant structure.
If there's a rupture or leakage, ultrasound technology swiftly identifies subtle changes in the implant’s shape or consistency and clearly detects any free silicone in adjacent tissues.
The advanced imaging capabilities of the Clarius system enable early detection of even minor implant damage, such as tiny tears or folds, that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Identifying these changes early helps ensure timely intervention, maintaining your implants' aesthetic appeal and your overall health.

Why is Clarius Ultrasound More Comfortable and Convenient?

Compared to MRI, the Clarius Ultrasound system offers significant benefits in comfort, convenience, and ease of use. For example:

Its portability means that implant evaluations can be conveniently performed during your regular office visit at Holcomb-Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa, eliminating the inconvenience and preparation typically associated with MRIs.
Moreover, this ultrasound procedure requires no special clothing or extensive preparation, ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience.
Unlike MRI scans, which typically demand specialized interpretation by radiologists, Clarius provides immediate, understandable feedback.
This allows our plastic surgeons and medical professionals to quickly and accurately assess implant health right during your consultation.

Cost-Effective Implant Health Monitoring

One of the most compelling reasons patients and healthcare providers choose Clarius ultrasound technology is its affordability. MRI procedures often have high costs due to expensive equipment, radiology fees, and lengthy appointment times. Conversely, Clarius ultrasound assessments significantly lower these costs by minimizing operational expenses and simplifying the evaluation process.

Additionally, ultrasounds performed at our practice typically occur during routine office visits, eliminating the need for separate appointments, saving you time, and reducing expenses. Because insurance coverage for breast MRI procedures is less common, Clarius ultrasound evaluations reduce financial barriers and make implant integrity checks more accessible.
