@mari I had to have a mammogram 3 months after surgery and was also quite tender from having hematomas/seromas drained four times that when I went in was so apprehensive, but the mammogram techs were wonderful. They were able to bring the machinery down manually instead of by foot pedal so it was quite gentle. I would suggest anyone ask for it to be done that way if you have any hesitation due to possible pain from mammography.
