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.

Answer: Saline implant rupture after mammogram I typically tell my saline breast aug patients that they should expect at least ten years from their implants but that they can rupture at anytime. The pressure from a mammogram can lead to rupture. If you have had an acute change in feel or shape of your breast then you should see a board certified plastic surgeon.
