Does getting saline implants increase your chance of getting breast cancer?

i know when you get your breasts checked, the implants make it harder to see the breast tissue.

Does getting saline implants increase your chance of getting breast cancer?
Breast implants do not increase your risk for breast cancer. They may cause a slight problem in reading mammograms and they do make breast biopsies very difficult if you should ever need one.
Reply:Hello,





There were many studies of this issue during the silicone gel implant investigation of the 1990's. The largest of the studies from Canada showed no increased likelihood of breast cancer in women with implants versus women without implants.
