📣📣 Do you have silicone Breast Implants? Stay proactive with Regular Surveillance !! 📣📣

Did you know the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommend ongoing monitoring for patients with silicone breast implants?

💡According to the latest guidelines:
🔹An MRI or Ultrasound is recommended 5-6 years after implantation, and every 2-3 years after that.

🔹Staying up to date with imaging ensures long-term safety, confidence, and beautiful results.

Whether your implants were place for breast cancer reconstruction or cosmetic reasons, we’re here to help you navigate recommended surveillance!
