Dear chrcas,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

If you are due for a mammogram, then please get one. The risk of rupture of an implant from a mammogram is low, but still is present.
