You\u2019ve considered a lot of things before your breast surgery<\/a>. You have looked at every aspect and gone over all the details. It was a lot to do, but you did it. Now, you\u2019re ready to enjoy your post-breast augmentation results<\/a>. You\u2019re confident in your surgeon, sure you will love your new figure, and don\u2019t anticipate having any complaints about your outcome.<\/p>\n

After your surgery, you plan to follow your surgeon’s instructions diligently. You\u2019ll schedule frequent scans and check-ups with your doctor to ensure the safety of your implants. Among these crucial appointments will be your yearly mammogram, a safe and necessary procedure that significantly maintains your overall breast health.<\/p>\n

Maybe this screening is something you\u2019ve been doing for years, or perhaps it\u2019s a new experience for you. Either way, you may wonder how to get a breast implant mammogram. Is there any risk when you have a mammogram with breast implants? Is it possible for your implants to rupture because of a mammogram?<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about the risks of having a mammogram when you have breast implants and what you can do to make sure you don’t have any complications.<\/p>\n

How Can You Have A Mammogram With Breast Implants?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

You can safely get a mammogram <\/a>if you have breast implants. If you let the technician know you have implants before your mammogram, they will take additional photos of your breast tissue to make sure everything is visible to the radiologist. To do this, they\u2019ll move your implant before compressing tissue toward the front of your breast. This process helps keep the implant out of harm’s way, redirects the compression area to tissue alone, and avoids pressure on the implant.<\/p>\n

Will Your Breast Implants Pop Or Rupture During A Mammogram?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

While it is possible for pressure on your chest to cause your implants to rupture, this is very unlikely during a mammogram. The amount of force it would take to rupture your implants is comparable to being in a severe car accident. The compression during a mammogram is minimal in comparison.<\/p>\n

The increasing number of women with breast implants<\/a> means that most mammography clinics have experience with patients who have implants. They know how to protect your implants without causing any complications while still supplying the radiologist with clear photos of the tissue for screening.<\/p>\n

How Can You Make Sure You Avoid Implant Complications From A Mammogram?<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Though there will always be a slight chance of leakage with any breast implant, rupture is a rare occurrence during a mammogram. Many women have breast implants and still get their yearly mammograms without issue. If you select a facility where the mammogram technicians receive training to work with implants, you won\u2019t have to worry about implant rupture during your crucial annual screening.<\/p>\n
