Proceed with Routine Mammograms after Breast Augmentation in Los Angeles
Women who have undergone breast augmentation in Los Angeles often wonder if they should still go for routine mammograms. They may be uncertain whether routine mammograms are still an effective means of detecting cancer after breast augmentation surgery. Although breast implants may interfere somewhat with the ability of mammograms to detect breast cancer, it is still important for you to go for age-appropriate mammograms routinely. If you have had breast cancer surgery on both of your breasts prior to the surgery, your doctor can tell you if mammograms are still necessary. Be aware that if you have had breast augmentation surgery in Los Angeles, a mammogram is not an effective way to detect implant leakage or a rupture. In order to detect problems with breast implants, you will need to undergo MRI testing, or possibly another type of testing.
