Can you have a breast biopsy if you have saline breast implants under the muscle?

Yes, you can have the breast biopsy with implants under
the muscle, and you should if it is indicated.Most breast surgeons operate and do biopsies on patients with implants
and know how to take the proper precautions to preserve the implant.However, there is always the risk that the
implant can rupture which will require a revision surgery.

It should be fine to have a biopsy with saline implants in especially if they are under the muscle. There is always a chance of rupture and you would know especially with saline implants. The breast would deflate in size.

 Thank you for sharing your question. It is possible to have a breast biopsy even with saline or silicone implants. Biopsies usually done under imaging guidance can usually be done safely without injuring the implant. There's always a risk, however, of an injury to the implant. In the case of sailine, it'll be quite obvious, as the implant will deflate. 

Thank you for your excellent question.  It is possible to have a breast biopsy performed with saline, or silicone, implants, regardless of implant position.  Your breast surgeon confer with your plastic surgeon, but biopsies are routinely performed without incident.  Hope this helps. 

Hi, rn2013.  When performing biopsy, radiologists use ultra-sound to guide their biopsy needle.  They will see where the implant is in relation to the calcification.  Although there is a risk for implant puncture, the risk is very low.  Good luck.
