Yes : Yes, breast implants can be seen on x-rays. They may also interfere with breast tissue visualization during mammography.

Yes but studies vary: However, they will appear differently based on their density and xray diffraction. Subglandular implants are more easily visualized than submuscular. Ultrasound or MRI may be a better test to visualize or assess implant integrity or lack of such. It's always better to notify your mammographer, so that they can perform specialized views of the breast.
