Hi docs , I am looking to get a breast augmentation in about six months. But I am doing some research before getting them. What is it like to check for breast cancer once you have implants in? Do I still do self checks and try to fill for lumps in the breast tissue? and then what about when I am ready to get mammograms? I am only 32 but I am wondering how people get mammograms with implants in. Thanks so much.
