No, breast implants do not increase the risk of breast cancer. Large international studies have found no connection. Breast screening (mammography/ultrasound) is still possible with implants – we recommend letting your radiologist know beforehand. In rare cases, a lymphoma called BIA-ALCL can occur around an implant. This is extremely uncommon and mainly associated with certain implant types that we do not use in our practice. We will be happy to discuss this in detail with you.
