Can a mammogram cause an implant to rupture?

llmaly
My saline implants are 20 years old and after my routine mammogram 3 days ago, my right breast has gotten smaller and seems flatter than the left. I also got a call today saying I needed to have my surgeon check my implants because the right one showed more "folds" than the left.
