Breast Cancer Awareness Breast Implants USA

The featured Cosmetic Surgeons of Breast Implants USA are first and foremost physicians whose top priority is the health and well-being of their patients. Partnering with them, we at Breast Implants USA seek to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of Breast Cancer through regular self examination, mammograms and gynecological visits.

We also understand that there are unique considerations involved in these kinds of examinations for those women who've undergone Breast Augmentation surgery. Breast implants can make detection of tumors more difficult, especially with the traditional mammogram, as a great deal of the breast tissue can be hidden by the prosthetics.

In addition to the traditional mammogram, we also recommend that you undergo an MRI and/or ultra-sound in order to give the radiologist the best possible information with which to examine the breast for any irregularities such as lumps or tumors.

Even as Breast Cancer awareness has moved to the fore of women's health issues in the last decade, it is still incumbent upon every woman to be responsible for her own health. Here are a few recommendations that may help you in your efforts to remain healthy and cancer-free:

• When going for your regular mammogram, be sure to find an imaging facility that has experience working with women who have breast implants. You'd be surprised at what a difference it makes to be in the hands of technicians and radiologists who understand the unique needs of women with implants.
• Be sure to request implant displacement views, which will offer better and clearer images of your breast tissue, without your breast implants in the way. You'd think this would be standard, but again, you'd be surprised.
