Classic silicone implants can make mammography difficult because the breast tissue near the implant often cannot be sufficiently compressed. However, there are now examination methods that are adapted to implants. If the images are still not clear, a supplementary examination may be necessary. Many patients are concerned that their breast implants may be damaged during the mammogram. This risk can be avoided by setting the compression slightly lower. In any case, you should inform the specialist staff about your breast implants and ideally bring the implant passport or the corresponding doctor's report with you to the examination.
