Modern Implant Care, Without the Guesswork

At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Tampa, we’re committed to combining exceptional outcomes with the most advanced technology. That’s why we offer Clarius Ultrasound — a handheld, high-resolution imaging system — to evaluate the condition of breast implants quickly, comfortably, and without radiation.

What is Clarius Ultrasound?

Clarius Ultrasound is a compact, wireless device that provides real-time, high-definition imaging of the breasts and underlying implants. Unlike traditional MRI or X-ray imaging, Clarius allows Dr. Kreithen and his team to detect implant issues on-site, in minutes, with no downtime or discomfort for the patient.

This revolutionary tool has changed the way we monitor for implant rupture, leaks, fluid accumulation, or asymmetry—especially for women with silicone implants.

Who Should Get a Breast Implant Ultrasound?

Clarius ultrasound may be ideal for you if:

  • You’ve had silicone breast implants for more than 5 to 10 years

What Can Clarius Detect?

Using high-resolution imaging, Clarius allows Dr. Kreithen to:

  • Evaluate implant shell integrity (rupture or leakage)

  • Assess for capsular contracture or thickened scar tissue

  • Identify seromas (fluid collections) or hematomas

  • Visualize implant positioning or shifting

  • Confirm implant type and placement

This is especially valuable for women with older implants, those with minimal natural breast tissue, or those monitoring for long-term changes after augmentation or revision.

What to Expect During Your Ultrasound

  • Performed in-office at our Tampa facility

  • Gel is applied to the breast, and the Clarius scanner is gently passed over the area

  • No compression or pain—just gentle contact

  • Real-time imaging appears on a wireless tablet for instant review

  • Your surgeon will interpret the results with you and recommend next steps if needed
