Adnova Clinic now offers Breast Implant screening by ultrasound.

At Adnova Clinic, we are committed to providing high-quality care for individuals with breast implants. Our Breast Implant Screening service, performed using ultrasound technology, helps assess the condition of your implants. Whether you are experiencing concerns or simply want reassurance, this quick and non-invasive screening can detect potential implant rupture or early signs of capsular contracture before symptoms appear.

What Can Breast Ultrasound Screening Detect?

Ultrasound screening is a safe, painless, and effective way to assess breast implant integrity. It can help identify:

Implant Rupture – Leaks or breaks in the implant shell.

Capsular Contracture – Early signs of the body reacting to the implant, leading to hardness or discomfort.

If any issues are detected, our expert team will guide you on the next steps, ensuring you have all the information needed for further evaluation or treatment.

I took my daughter to Adnova to see Mr Biggs about a nasty hockey injury to her nose. After an excellent consultation, she decided to go ahead with the surgery. On arrival, the Adnova team was incredibly friendly and efficient. She was particularly nervous about the anaesthesia, but her anaesthetist Marcus Fletcher was outstanding with her. His calm manner and gentle confidence was exactly what she needed. We were sent home same day with everything we needed to keep her comfortable at home and the results have been amazing. The piezo method used by Mr Biggs meant that bruising and swelling was limited and her confidence has re-emerged. I had definitely underestimated the incredible effect this kind of surgery can have on self-confidence. I am incredibly grateful to the Adnova team, the amazing Mr Biggs and our unsung hero of the OR, Marcus Fletcher. Thank you.
