Will Sub-glandular Breast Implant Placement Interfere with Proper Mammogram Readings ?

Hello, Thanks to all the doctors who have guided me to making the decision to get breast implants. I opted for subglandular placement as I am a fitness competitor. My OB performed a breast exam, while all was fine, she mentioned that she I really will not be able to detect any abnormalities in routine BSE bc the implant is over the mammary glands. My implants are modest sized 375 cc. Will this placement interfere w/ mammo screening? I am 31 y/o, does this warrant earlier mammography ?
