After a Breast Lift is Recommendable to Do the Mammograms in the Traditional Way?

There is no reason that having a breast lift should preclude you from having a traditional mammogram on the schedule your doctor recommends.  If you have had an augmentation, an additional view would be required.  The way you are wording your question makes it sound as if your afraid that having a mammogram will cause your breasts to sag.  This will not happen. Should you have any questions, you should return to your surgeon who performed your procedure to discuss your concerns.  Best of luck to you. 

Thank you for the question. Patients who undergo breast lifting only will be able to undergo mammography in the traditional fashion;  if breast implants are used however, the mammographer will use a “displacement technique” in order to better visualize the breast tissue, away from the breast implants.

Mammography does not contribute to the “sagging” of breasts.  This is more likely related to time, gravity, weight gain/loss,  pregnancies, genetics…

Best wishes.

A breast lift will not affect the scheduling  of mammograms in the future. You will have more scar tissue so sometimes the radiologist may need to do different views for a complete mammogram.
