Devices, systems and methods for using and monitoring implants

A method for examining a medical device which has been previously inserted into a patient,

• where the medical device is an implantable medical device comprising an aesthetic implant and a plurality of sensors, where the aesthetic implant comprises a shell and a filling within the shell and is a breast implant, a nose implant, a chin implant, a bicep implant, a tricep implant, a buttock implant or a calf implant, and the plurality of sensors comprise at least one sensor within the filling, the at least one sensor within the filling being one of a contact sensor, a pressure sensor, an accelerometer sensor, a temperature sensor, a mechanical stress sensor, a position sensor, a chemical microsensor or a tissue metabolic sensor, the medical device further comprising a memory chip configured to collect and store data, obtained by the plurality of sensors, the memory chip located on or within the medical device,
• the method comprising imaging the implanted medical device, said imaging comprising:
• (a) detecting the location of one or more sensors in the medical device;
• and
• (b) visually displaying the location of said one or more sensors, such that an image of the medical device is created.
