Answer: Breast augmentation Thank you for the question. Breast augmentation is a safe procedure in healthy individuals who are good candidates for it. You may need to get a medical clearance before surgery.Breast implants usually do not mask breast tissue from being seen on mammogram however if the breast tissue cannot be adequately evaluated then other techniques or other modalities such as ultrasound or MRI can be used for screening. I would highly recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic surgeon to give you specific advice.Best of luck...

Answer: Mammography after Breast Augmentation with Fibrous Breasts Being older, small and with fibrous breasts does not increase your risks from a breast augmentation. As far as post procedure mammography, it has been shown that there is no difference in finding breast cancer or the stage of any breast cancer found after breast implants if the mammogram is a diagnostic one (3 or more views), not a screening one (2 views) is done.
