Breast Biopsy w/Saline implants

Breast Biopsy w/Saline implants

Hello I am 41 and have had 3 Mammos in the past month to further review microcalcifications. detected in annual mammo.  After 3rd mammo (first 2 not good enough quality) was told I need a biopsy.  Since I have saline breast implants over the chest muscle what is the best biopsy to get? Do not want to deal with a ruptured implant on top of this.  Want the least invasive method as I have experienced a DVT and blood clot (pregnancy related) in the past so any surgery concerns me. I have an Aunt on my Fathers side that had breast cancer that only known family history of breast cancer.

Dear ski1023:  The best biopsy will be best determined by the surgeon or radiologist who will be doing the procedure.  This depends upon the location of the calcifications and their relationship (proximity) to the implant.  Without reviewing the images, we cannot speculate on best surgical options.
