What is Ultrasound Implant Scanning?

Introducing Ultrasound Implant Scanning, a quick, non-invasive check-up that gives you the reassurance you need.

Using safe ultrasound technology, our experienced clinicians can examine your breast implants and surrounding tissue in as little as 15–30 minutes. Whether your surgery was recent or many years ago, it’s a smart way to make sure everything’s as it should be.

What can an ultrasound scan show?

✓ Confirm your implant is in the correct position
✓ Check the implant is intact and in good condition
✓ Assess the health of the surrounding breast tissue

All without any pain, downtime or radiation.

What to expect at your scan?

Your scan will take place in a private clinic room with a trained member of our clinical team. A small handheld device (called a probe) is gently moved over the breast area. You might feel a little pressure, but it shouldn’t be uncomfortable.

  • Duration: 15–30 minutes
  • Recovery time: None – you can carry on with your day
  • Follow-up: You’ll receive a full report once your scan has been reviewed

Is this scan right for you?

If you’ve had breast implants at any time – whether with Transform or another provider – you’re welcome to book an ultrasound scan with us. It’s especially recommended if:

  • It’s been more than 5 years since your surgery
  • You’ve noticed a change in shape or feel
  • You’d just like the reassurance everything is healthy
  • Non-invasive & safe – No radiation exposure.
  • Accurate – Detects ruptures, shifts, or fluid buildup.
  • Quick & painless – Performed in-clinic with instant results.
  • Monitors long-term health – Helps ensure implants remain in good condition.
  • Limited clarity – May not detect very small issues.
  • Operator-dependent – Accuracy can vary based on technician experience.
  • May require follow-up scans – Unclear results may lead to further imaging (e.g., MRI).
