Mammogram with Implants
I wanted to know if there was a way to have a mammogram with breast implants? I've been having pain in my left breast for a little while now and I wanted to get it checked out. When I went to my doctor two months ago she didn't feel anything, but I know that people have had problems even though nothing was found by the yearly exam with their doctor.
Answer:
If there is something about your health that you are concerned about, then you must investigate it. Absolutely request a mammogram. Be sure to tell the technician in advance that you have breast implants.
