Breast Implant Monitoring



Share Emailz

I have annual breast MRI because I still have one natural breast and one of my original breast tumors was only discovered on MRI. My most recent breast MRI noted that there is residual breast tissue in the implant side. For this very reason I would say that yes, you should have annual breast MRI, both to check the integrity of the implant and to check for further malignancy. Unfortunately it is usually the insurance companies placing restrictions on doing this, not he doctors or the patients. I would pay for it myself to be sure I was cancer free.
