BREAST HEALTH SCREENING

Before surgery and after: healthy breasts

Surgery does not stand in the way of screening.

Even with implants, mammography, ultrasound and biopsy are all possible. At U&U a breast surgeon and a technologist experienced in imaging breasts with implants carry out the examination, taking care not to put stress on the implant, and rupture can be checked on ultrasound right away.

IMPLANT CHECK-UP ULTRASOUND

Implant Ultrasound

After breast surgery, do implants have to be replaced every ten years?

We check implant condition (rupture, contracture) by ultrasound. Rather than automatic replacement every 10 years, we verify through screening.

BREAST CANCER ULTRASOUND

Breast Cancer Ultrasound

Can implants cause breast cancer?

Safe even with implants — we monitor your breast health by ultrasound.

MAMMOGRAPHY

Mammography

With implants, is compression mammography off the table?

A screening method that works even with implants, examining the breast in fine detail.

Won't the needle burst the implant during the test?

An experienced breast surgeon performs the procedure under high-precision ultrasound guidance, keeping the needle away from the implant, and rupture can be checked on ultrasound right away.

BREAST CANCER MASTOCHECK

MastoCheck breast cancer blood test

Simple and fast, from a blood sample

The test quantifies three protein biomarkers associated with breast cancer to check for early-stage disease. It is included in the standard pre-operative work-up.

Which screenings you need and how often may vary with the type of implant, the timing of surgery and your own breast condition; this is decided after consultation.
