Question

Hello 'Tooneygirl', thanks for your question.  Yes, it is safe to have a CT scan with history of breast implants.  Aside from the standard CT radiation dose, this should not affect your health and will not damage the implants.  Good luck!-Dr.92660

CT, MRI, ultrasound, etc and other breast manipulations will not injure your breast implants.  Occasionally a rough mammogram can cause some problems, but very rarely.
