Ultrasound Breast Implant Surveillance

Dr Paul believes ultrasound breast implant surveillance should become a standard of care in the UK. As a proactive, preventative measure it can help reassure all patients who have had implants for any reason and allows pain free early detection of any potential issues such as rippling, capsular contracture, flipping and rupture. Ultrasound can also differentiate between textured and smooth implants and can confirm the pocket – either over or under the muscle which can be useful in planning revisional procedures.

Using ultrasound (US) technology for breast implant surveillance offers several important advantages compared to other imaging modalities (such as MRI or mammography).

  • Non-invasive and radiation-free
  • There is no ionizing radiation involved with USS. Unlike mammography or CT, ultrasound is safe for repeated use, making it ideal for long-term surveillance. USS is non-invasive, painless and very quick to perform
  • Real-time, dynamic imaging
  • The beauty of USS is that it provides immediate feedback; Mr Banwell can adjust the probe in real time to examine the entire implant and surrounding tissues.
  • Effective for detecting common complications
  • Implant rupture: Modern ultrasound techniques (especially high-frequency probes and elastography) can detect intracapsular and extracapsular ruptures with good sensitivity.
  • Capsular contracture: May reveal thickening or irregularity of the capsule.
  • Seromas, hematomas, or silicone leakage: Easily visualized as fluid collections or echogenic changes.

 Suitable for all implant types and positions

  • Works for silicone and saline implants, whether placed subglandular or submuscular (dual plane).
  • Can assess both the implant shell and adjacent breast tissue.

Comfortable and patient-friendly

  • Short examination time (typically 15–20 minutes).
  • No claustrophobia or contrast reactions, unlike MRI.

 

DISCLAIMER – surveillance programmes performed by plastic surgeons are for implant surveillance only. These do not aim to detect breast lumps or breast cancer.

Thank you so much for your surgery and your fantastic caring and positive attitude which makes so much difference for patients, me included!

It is hard for me to find the right words to thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

During the time I have been in the care of Paul and the team I have been treated extremely well and very professionally, I could not have asked for better care. Paul was extremely caring and considerate throughout this time and has put me at ease during any procedures that I have had carried out. I trust his judgement completely and recommended Paul to a close family member who had a similar problem.

The consultation was conducted quickly, professionally but Mr Banwell also made me feel as if any question I may have wouldn’t not be too small or insignificant for him to take the time to answer. He left me feeling fully informed with both the pros and cons of any form of elective surgery but also that my worries were normal and that he would be able to assist me with my desired outcomes. His team were caring and professional making me feel that they were actually interested and were able to accommodate my dates when making the initial consultation booking. Prompt returning of calls, flexibility in booking of appointments friendliness, informative, caring and professional from the initial telephone call, the surgery, follow up appointments right through to my final appointment made me feel that my care, personal views and worries were important to them at all times. You can trust him to always be honest with you about the possible problems and outcomes. Overall experience with Mr Banwell and his team? Amazing! I just wish I’d not waited so many years to have this procedure done; I have my life back and it’s amazing to be able to walk into any shop and buy clothes that fit in my actual size and not 5 dress sizes larger just to fit my bust in. With the Upper Blepharoplasty everyone in my family says that I now look so much brighter and not tired, others I meet just tell me I look really great and ask if I’ve just had a holiday. Mr Banwell Thank You for all that you did for me.


Anne G.

From initial consultation right through to arrival for surgery and the subsequent aftercare, I have found the level of courtesy, understanding and professionalism of yourself and your team (both medical and administrative) to have been exemplary. So please accept my heartfelt thanks for accepting me as a patient and for your surgical expertise which has made such a positive difference in so many aspects of my life.


Christina C.

These were only minor operations, but I have never had anything like it before. All I can say is that it was an excellent place to start. The care was excellent from start to finish with a perfect blemish free outcome. I would certainly recommend the service to others.
