Short video (YouTube) by Robert Whitfield MD explaining how clinicians detect and diagnose breast implant ruptures, covering patient-reported signs (changes in feel, pain, inability to feel the implant) and imaging workup (mammogram, ultrasound, and MRI for diagnostic confirmation).
If you just found this, how do you. How do they know that it's ruptured? They can you sometimes feel the change. They may have pain. I will tell you, like, if you can't actually feel the implant, that's not a good sign. Oh, that's typically, you know, concerning because it's lost its integrity, so. Or they may get a study, like a mammogram or mammogram ultrasound, and they'll be like, oh, this is definitely concerning for a rupture. And that may lead them to get a diagnostic study, like an mri. Okay.
