Mammogram
Im just wondering if once the implants are in if a normal mammogram will still show any abnormalties in the breast,? because in march i was recalled after one and had to have a biopsy which showed some little dots,thankfully they were harmless but the doctor has put a marker in so that next time im due for one (3 years) they know where to look and keep thier eye on them,also would the implant rupture with the machine that nearly squashes them flat !!! Hope someone can help !!!

Re: Mammogram
I was told that with unders you can have a normal mammogram with very small area not visible. Overs are a bit tougher as there's more area that a mammogram won't be able to see. But there are other ways of screening for breast cancer - something with a thermal reading (not sure the exact name) which can find cancer way earlier than a mammogram, it comes up as tiny red dots on a thermal imaging of some sort.
Perhaps look into that? I'm not sure if they have it in the UK....
