Our breast and armpit ultrasound helps detect changes in your breast tissue and nearby lymph nodes. It’s safe, painless, and done by specialist doctors. We give same-day results and explain what we find. This scan is often used to check new lumps or pain, but it’s also useful for routine monitoring or peace of mind.
Who it's for
This scan can help spot breast or armpit problems early. It’s useful if you’ve noticed a lump, pain, or other changes. It’s also a good way to keep track of known issues or get reassurance if you’re worried.
What it shows
What to expect
No special preparation is needed. Wear a top that’s easy to remove. Avoid applying creams or powders on the chest before your appointment.
You’ll lie back, and a clear gel will be applied to your breast and underarm. The doctor will move a small probe over the area. It’s painless and takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
You can return to your day straight afterwards. Your consultant explains what they have seen before you leave.
Who reads your scan
Your report
Your consultant talks you through what the scan shows while you are still in the room.
A written report follows, usually within 24 hours. If anything needs a closer look, we can arrange MRI, CT, blood tests or a specialist referral.
Book an initial consultation with one of our consultants for £50. If you go on to have imaging or a procedure, the fee is put towards its cost.

See a doctor if you notice a lump, pain, skin changes, or any other new or lasting breast symptoms. Even if they seem minor, it’s best to check.
Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, and has no known side effects. A small amount of gel is applied to the skin and a handheld probe is moved gently over the area. You can return to your day straight afterwards.
Tell us what you would like looked at and we will come back to you with times. You do not need a referral.
