Mammography

What is a mammogram >>

No mammogram with implants! Ask for ultrasound or MRI instead.

Implants can rupture due to the pressure of the plates. High pressure, can release amounts of silicone which might migrate into the body, where they can eg. disrupt hormones . Also, a large amount of harmful free radicals are released, which are responsible for aging, DNA damage and cancer.
In women with implants, 55% of tumors are missed compared to 33% in women without implants.
Larger tumors due to delayed diagnosis. Result: increased risk of death.
It is sometimes impossible to perform a mammogram due to severe capsular contracture, rupture or fear and pain.
