Post Explant Questionnaire
What a post explant questionnaire asks, with sample questions on the removed implants, tissue tests, and symptoms.
A post explant questionnaire records how breast implants were removed, other procedures done at the same time, test results, and which symptoms changed afterward. It's also called the post-explantation breast implant illness questionnaire.
Post explant questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a post explant questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Post explant questionnaire: FAQ
What does a post explant questionnaire ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on The Aesthetic Society's Post-Explantation Breast Implant Illness questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: implant details, explant surgery, other procedures, tissue tests, symptoms, and follow-up care.
Who fills in a post explant questionnaire, and when?
The patient, after implant removal surgery. The form asks for the date of explantation and then which symptoms have improved and which remain.
Is it the same as the post-explantation breast implant illness questionnaire?
Yes. The Aesthetic Society heads its form 'Questionnaire: Post-Explantation Breast Implant Illness' and lists it beside its breast implant illness patient questionnaire.
How is it different from the breast implant illness questionnaire?
The breast implant illness form records how implants were placed and the symptoms the patient has. The post-explantation form records how they came out, extra procedures, tissue test results, and symptom changes since removal.
Is there a post explant questionnaire template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. The Aesthetic Society's three-page version, dated September 2019, is posted on its breast implant resources page.
What happens after the form is completed?
The practice's team reviews the answers. AI Doctor only records the symptoms the patient reports and makes no judgment about their cause.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
