How Do Women With Implants Do It?

[Isabelle]

How do women with breast implants get mamograms? Mamograms squish your breasts flat as a pancake. I would think the implant would burst.

The displacement procedure involves pushing the implant back and gently pulling the breast tissue into view. Several factors affect the success of this special technique in imaging the breast tissue in women with breast implants. Therefore, the location of the implant, the degree (hardness) of the capsular contracture, the size of the breast tissue compared to the implant and other factors may affect how well the breast tissue can be imaged.
