Friday, a patient underwent breast surgery in my office to remove her microchipped Motiva breast implants.
Some Motiva implants contain an embedded RFID microtransponder — a small device sealed inside the implant that stores identifying information like serial and manufacturing data.
Many women are surprised to learn their implants contain this microchip. For some, simply knowing a device is embedded inside their body — beyond the implant itself — is unsettling. They didn’t fully understand it at the time of placement. Others no longer feel comfortable having any form of implanted technology in their body.
When it comes to your health and your body, clarity matters. Knowing exactly what is inside you matters.
