Breast augmentation does not affect your mammogram. The mammogram that is performed for
ladies with breast augmentation requires two extra views. Almost all mammography centers
now are familiar with the additional views that are required to see all of the breast
tissue on the mammogram. This has been worked out over the last 10 or 15 years very nicely
and the American Academy of Clinical Radiologists now has a formal protocol and standard
of care for mammography for patients with breast augmentation. All the scientific
literature to date reveals that there is no loss of mammographic efficiency in detecting
early breast cancer in the early screening for breast cancer because of breast implants.
