How often should you get an MRI after having breast implants, and how much does each MRI typically cost?
The FDA made a recommendation, but it is not a law. I recommend that patient with implants have a mammagram or an ultrasound every 3 years during the first 10 years, then every 2 years for the next 10 years, and then yearly. If then a radiologist wants to get a MRI, then have that done. Don't just start with a MRI since insurance will not cover it and you may pay up to $2500 per exam.
