I was recently asked by a patient, “can mammograms rupture breast implants? The answer is, it depends. To determine if there is the possibility of breast implants rupturing during a mammogram, I would consider the age, type and brand of the breast implants. In my 20 plus years as a plastic surgeon in Jacksonville, I have seen some of the older silicone gel breast implants rupture after a mammogram and after blunt trauma. However, today’s newer breast implants are more advanced in general and designed to better handle blunt forces that can take place in a car accident or the pressure of a mammogram.
If you are unsure or worried that your breast implant may rupture during a mammogram, it’s best to be examined by your doctor or a plastic surgeon before-hand to find out any risks that you may be facing with your mammogram.
