Hi Anne,

Even though we have corresponded via email, I am posting my reply to you here in case others have the same questions:

You are very welcome. I don’t know if you have searched the internet but here is a good site for this information:

If you do a search for biopsies with implants, I am sure you will turn up other sites as well. You did not say where you are located, but make sure you are going to a reputable facility with reputable doctors.

You can also call Mentor (mfg of implants). They have a hotline 800-Mentor 8 (636-8678) and RNs ready to talk about any questions you may have.

You can also contact the American College of Radiology 703/648-8900 or the American College of Surgeons 312/202-5000 to find qualified specialists in your area.

I hope this helps. Please stay in touch and let me know how things go.

Sincerely,

Shelly Blechman
