Pre Operative Question Answer

Can a silicone rupture affect mammogram accuracy?

A silicone rupture can potentially affect the accuracy of mammograms in detecting breast abnormalities. It is important to inform the mammography technician about the presence of breast implants so that specialized techniques, such as additional imaging views or ultrasound, can be employed to obtain the most accurate results. Regular monitoring of breast health through both clinical examination and imaging is recommended to ensure comprehensive breast care.
