Feeling for Lumps with Breast Implants, Will I be Able to Detect Them?

EmD
Hi Does having breast implants affect your ability to feel / find lumps and detect breast cancer in the early stages? I am concerned that by having implants it may disguise lumps that i would normally be able to detect? Please could i have advise on both 'over' and 'under' the muscle implants. Thanks
