Perform routine implant screenings to assess asymptomatic rupture and associated complications.*
As part of Butterfly’s commitment to safety and innovation, Butterfly is collaborating with Sientra to provide board-certified plastic surgeons with enhanced diagnostic tools and education for proactive surveillance of breast implant outcomes.*
*Current FDA Recommendations on Rupture Screening include: For asymptomatic patients, the first ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed at 5-6 years postoperatively, then every 2-3 years thereafter. For symptomatic patients or patients with equivocal ultrasound results for rupture at any time postoperatively, an MRI is recommended. Click here for more information.
Proactive breast implant surveillance.*
Point-of-care ultrasound supports both pre- and post-operative office screening, to build patient understanding of their options regarding revisions and replacements. It also helps you assess implant integrity, to support efficient surgical intervention.
Seroma drainage.
Utilization of ultrasound provides a safe, effective method for aspirating seromas, allowing for accurate visualization and delineation of the seroma margins, proper needle placement, and monitoring of progress. Point-of-care ultrasound can play an active role in postprocedural management of patients undergoing surgeries.¹
TAP blocks.
Butterfly iQ+ provides in-pocket accessibility for nerve block guidance thanks to its high-fidelity B-mode, as well as Needle Viz™, developed specifically for procedural support. Ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks have been associated with higher success rates than traditional anatomical techniques.²

The future of ultrasound is here.
Using Butterfly ultrasound for breast implants.
Breast implant surgery is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedures in the United States. In recent years, ultrasound has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring the long-term health of patients with breast implants. As part of our commitment to safety and innovation, Butterfly is collaborating with Sentra to provide board-certified plastic surgeons with enhanced diagnostic tools and education for proactive surveillance of breast implant outcomes.*
