Ask a question about this review

What this page is for

Questions about the review itself: something that is unclear, a claim you have seen and want to know how it is graded, a source you think should be reflected, or a correction you would like to suggest. These are welcome, and corrections are made to the page rather than noted elsewhere.

What this site does not do

This review does not recommend for or against an operation, and it does not offer an assessment or a consultation in relation to anything it describes. It is not a booking page. There is no service offered here for implant surveillance, for removal, or for any other treatment discussed, and nothing on this site should be read as an invitation to arrange one.

Questions about your own care

A question about your own situation — whether an implant of yours needs assessing, what a scan showed, whether removal is appropriate for you — is a clinical question and belongs with a clinician who can examine you and see your records. The hospital’s outpatient channels are the right route for that, and the appointments page explains how they work.

If you have a symptom you are worried about

A change in the shape or size of a breast, a new lump, swelling that comes and goes, or pain around an implant is assessed by a clinician rather than discussed on a website. Contact the service that has your records, or the hospital’s outpatient channels, and say when the implant was placed and what you have noticed.
