    Default mammogram with implants

    Went for my mammo today. No particular reason except I am almost 41. Had one done before the implants 9 1/2 years ago. I almost didn't go through with it b/c you have to sign a waiver saying you know there is a risk it can cause rupture/ leakage ect.
    They did 4 takes on each breast. Not horrible, but I'll let you know in a month if they held out.( I figure I should be good by then) I was sooooo worried. Not an expense I need right now.
    Hopefully I made the woman nervous enough beforehand. I didn't want any more clamping going on than she had to. Not for the pain factor, but because of the implants. She was telling me pretty much she had to do what she had to do to get good pics. She also told me she had implants herself for 4 years now, and hasn't had one pop yet. So I went with it.

    Default Re: mammogram with implants

    Iam scared about rupture too I have silicone implants 20 years old. Not only would it cost alot more to replace them now,but I worry about the consequence of leaking silicone in my body if they did rupture. I have heard it is much safer and a better picture to have an M.R.I.Has anyone had experience with this? Francinista
