I've been reading some comments lately regarding women having mammograms with implants. These discussions have focused mainly on implants possibly reducing the accuracy of mammograms to detect breast cancer.

Here are some links I found pertaining to mammogram effectiveness if a woman has breast implants:

Breast Implants and Mammography: What we do know, and what we don't know (StopCancerFund.org)

Can breast implants make it harder to find breast cancer during mammography? (Mayo Clinic)

Can I get a normal mammogram after breast implants? (RealSelf)

Breast implants may make cancer harder to spotĀ (nhs.uk)

Have you had a mammogram with your implants? If so, how was your experience?
