3. If you don't know the "regular" instrustions for self breast exam, go to the link I supplied below. Then add this: Special Tips for Women with Implants. If you have breast implants, you should perform breast self-examination monthly on your implanted breast. In order to do this effectively, you should ask your surgeon to help you distinguish the implant from your breast tissue. Press firmly inward at the edges of the breast implants to feel the ribs beneath, checking for any lumps or bumps. However, if you have a saline filled breast implant be careful not to manipulate (i.e., squeeze) the valve on the implant excessively, which may cause valve leakage and make the breast implant deflate. Any new lumps or suspicious lesions (sores) should be evaluated with a biopsy. If a biopsy is performed, care must be taken to avoid puncturing the implant. http://www.mentorcorp.com/global/breast-augmentation/breast-self-exam.htm
