I've never been a fan of women having implants for cosmetic reasons, mainly because it makes it very hard for us to see the heart on our scans, something they don't tell women before they get them.

Whether a rational fear or not, I'm always scared of women with implants sleeping on their chests/stomachs because I think the implants will rupture in their sleep.

Considering women with implants can still get squished for mammograms, it's not really a concern to sleep on the chest.

Considering women with implants can still get squished for mammograms, it's not really a concern to sleep on the chest. Is a woman of the opposite size easy to scan? What if there isn't really much to squish? Are there smaller, handheld versions? I'm being serious. I don't know how those tests work.

That's a shame...I wonder how they would go about recalling implants that are already in someone. "Sorry, I have to butcher you and take your boobs again because we screwed up. "
This is why I have already made the decision that when/if I get breast cancer I'm not going to bother with implants. While I didn't know implants caused cancer, I know they are not necessarily safe. I'd rather be flat then risk infection, leaks or any other danger that implants may pose.

They can do mammograms on men, so women of small size have nothing to worry about.

I don’t think that’s a nugget of information that would have much of an impact on their decision, to be honest.

I'll pass on the plastic mammaries.

I'll pass on the plastic mammaries. That’s kind of the point. If the possibility of the implant rupturing doesn’t turn someone off, the idea that a radiological heart scan is going to be more difficult for a technician certainly isn’t going to do it. The former is something that is known to happen from time to time, while the latter isn’t something most women in the prime implant-receiving age range are going to be very concerned about. Women are advised of the possibility of future back problems, but still, they have the procedure done.

I'd rather be flat then risk infection, leaks or any other danger that implants may pose. My Grandmother had breast cancer years ago and it was before implants had been invented. She had a huge hole in her chest, not just the breast removed -it scared me to see it as a small child, but I got used to it. She had a cloth prosthesis she used. I think that a prosthesis would be the way to go for someone my age, but I imagine that a young woman say in her early 20's that had cancer might feel better about herself with an implant. Even if it causes difficulties with certain tests.

Somewhat on topic, does anyone know what Angelina Jolie ended up doing after she had her double mastectomy?
