Can a mammogram cause an implant to rupture?

Thank you for your question.  In short, yes, in theory a mammogram can rupture an old implant.  This would be uncommon but possible.  If your implant is old and subject to injury from a mammogram, many other things could also injure the implant.  If there are folds in the implant, etc, if may be time to get it replaced.

A mammogram does squish the breast and can contribute to an already weak implant rupturing. Your implants are very old and it is likely that they were already weakened prior to this procedure. Folds on imaging suggest deflation. #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #Implants #BreastImplants #deflatedimplants 

Yes, a mammagram may rupture an implants, especially an older implant. I'm sure the literature you were asked to read and sign mentioned a possible rupture. Since folds were seen, you might have had a small leak prior to the examination. I suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing all your options.
