I want to get breast implants, but I'm interested, but implants can cause problems with mammograms in the future. But after the operation, it will be more difficult to detect possible changes in the breast tissue, but are there any health risks in this sense? Thank you.

Breast implants do not usually prevent a mammogram, but they can make the exam somewhat more difficult. Implants can obscure some of the breast tissue, making it difficult to get a clear image, which can be a challenge when evaluating a mammogram. However, specialists trained in mammography of patients with implants use specialized techniques (such as the "implant push-down" method) to achieve better images and more accurate results.
It is important to let the radiologist know that you have implants so that he or she can use the appropriate imaging technique. Many women with implants have regular mammograms, as the implants themselves do not increase the risk of breast cancer.
