Edinburgh Waterfront Private Hospital today launched the UK’s first same-day breast implant health check clinic. Women can now get an ultrasound scan and meet a plastic surgeon in one visit.
Gold-Standard Imaging Meets Immediate Expert Advice
The service is led by consultant radiologist Dr. Theodora Zachari, who uses Canon Aplio i-series ultrasound equipment. This system is highly regarded for soft tissue imaging. Directly after the scan, patients see a consultant plastic surgeon for results and guidance.
Peace of Mind for Long-Term Implant Patients
“Many women who had breast augmentation over ten years ago—or abroad—worry about their implants,” said Dr. Omar Kwaba, consultant plastic surgeon and co-founder of the hospital. “This clinic removes multiple appointments. It gives patients clear answers and a future care plan, all on the same day.”
Why Regular Checks Matter
Breast implants are generally safe. Still, changes in shape, discomfort, or fears of rupture and capsular contracture lead patients to seek checks. Until now, Scottish women faced long waits or had to travel for similar services. This clinic offers a streamlined, patient-focused experience close to home.
A Boutique Hospital Experience
Seaside Private Hospital prides itself on personalized care in a luxurious setting. Patients meet the same medical team for follow-ups and further consultations. Women can self-refer or use a GP referral. Each appointment lasts about an hour and includes a bespoke report with next steps.
Catching Problems Early
“Regular checks mean we can spot and manage issues early,” added Dr. Kwaba. “Our aim is to put implant health back in women’s hands.”
Opened in late 2023, the hospital brings together Scotland’s top plastic and skin surgeons. Its team offers everything from cosmetic procedures to skin cancer treatment.
