Can a mammogram rupture breast implants?
An FDA study has suggested that the risk of breast implant rupture can be exacerbated by mammography. Having a mammogram may increase the risk of a rupture earlier in the lifespan of implants, and also the squeezing involved in mammography most likely increases the risk of leakage in implants that are already ruptured. The potential risk of rupture or leakage needs to be carefully weighed against the benefits of mammography by each individual woman.
