However, this can make it a bit trickier to detect breast cancer with a standard mammogram. Your breast density is something your radiologist determines when they read your mammogram. This information is included in your mammogram results, so be sure to ask your doctor about your breast density.

This breast surgery is often performed long before a woman needs her first mammogram , which means that the topic of breast implants’ effects on necessary screenings is rarely discussed before breast augmentation is performed. How often do I need a mammogram? Mammograms should be scheduled every 1 to 2 years until at least age 75.

While this is an improvement over the prior recommendation to begin screening at age 50, it falls short of the current recommendation by the Society of Breast Imaging and the American College of Radiology to obtain annual mammograms beginning at age 40.
