What does dense breast tissue mean for a breast augmentation patient?

Asked By:Jubilant2138 in Denver, CO

As one of the pre-conditions to my surgery, I received a mammogram that came back clear, but showed I have dense breast tissue. I'm wondering if (1) this improves or worsens the implant "coverage," and (2) if it's a factor of age (I'm 21 and mammograms are generally for the 40+ age group). Thanks!
