Do you know what type of mammos that you had done? Were they digital images? Digital are the best type to have done when you are young with dense breast tissue. They have because the imaging of choice in the past 2 years or so because the pictures are much more clear, they come up on a computer screen instead of an xray board and the rad can zoom in and magnify the different areas that might be of concern. In the past, they used a magnifying glass and their eyes to inspect the xray. Also, many woman that have implants are given an MRI instead of a mammo. Many times it requires special permission from your insurer to have this test done because of the expense AND with you being so young. Don't be too concerned about your implants there are many women that have them and they are use to dealing with this issue.
