Despite the chance of your implant rupturing from the pressure, health practitioners still recommend that women who have undergone a breast augmentation have a mammogram.
Women who are looking at breast enhancement should be aware that implants may hinder finding breast cancer within a mammogram. This is because the enhancement shows up as a solid white form, obscuring cancers above or below. In addition to making tumors more difficult to detect, improvements cause "false positive" results at the same time when calcium deposits and extensive scarring mimic the look of cancer, making the deposits difficult to tell apart from tumors over a mammogram. Biopsy might be required to determine whether these are malignant.
Specific mammogram methods have been developed to ensure that just as much breast tissue as you are able to is evaluated in women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery. This involves using extra pictures, called displacement opinions, which expose the girl to more light.
