Mammograms/Breast Implants

Mammograms/Breast Implants

I have Breast Implants (going on 2 years) and my concern is rupture of implants during the Mammogram process.  I'm looking for other alternatives and suggestions?  I have done some research and have found such alternatives as Breast MR (MRI) and/or Sonograms.  If this is an opprotunity versus Mammograms, can you suggest where I can find a location that conducts Breast MR or Sonograms for Breast Implants verusus Mammograms?

Ask your local hospital, or wherever they do the Mammograms in your area.  I would defintitely not do "a squeeze".  The MRI mammo's are starting to phase out the old 'squeeze' because they are more accurate.  Sonograms I don't know about but checking with  your hospital is the best way to go.

Have you talked with your Dr. about him/her recommending an MRI mammo?

Let us know what you decide and how it goes.  K?
