While breast implants can make performing a mammogram more technically difficult, it has been shown that it does not interfere with detecting breast cancer compared with women who do not have implants. Special mammogram techniques are used in women with implants to view the breast tissue clearly. Placing implants under the pec muscle makes the implant interfere even less with viewing a mammogram. Breast augmentation surgery is so common that radiologists are vastly experienced at reading mammograms for patients who have implants.
