Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
Hello & thank you for submitting your question.

A mammogram should not pose any risk to your health or for the breast augmentation procedure. It is impossible to predict what the results will be, however. Your physician will discuss the findings with you when the report is issued.

Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga
