mammograms can cause implants to burst  

I've heard that mammograms can cause implants to burst –– is this true

Because the breast is compressed during mammography, it is possible, but rare, for an implant to rupture. If you have implants, be sure to tell the mammogram technician so they can position your breast accordingly. Make sure the facility you select has experience in performing mammography on women with implants.
