Popis:	Fifty-four women who had previously undergone breast augmentation underwent film-screen mammography using both the standard implant compression technique and, when possible, the implant displacement technique. All had preaugmentation mammography available for evaluation. The area of mammographically visualized breast tissue before and after augmentation mammoplasty was measured using a transparent grid. Patients with subglandular implants had a mean 44% decrease of measurable tissue area with compression mammography and 36% decrease with displacement mammography
