Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the impact of silicone implants on breast stiffness and its relation to mastalgia.
Included 2 groups: patients with silicone implants (Group 1) and without (Group 2).
Measured shear wave velocity values using multiparametric shear wave elastography (mpSWE).
Evaluated mastalgia using a verbal numerical rating scale (NRS, 0-10).
All mpSWE values in Group 1 were higher than in Group 2 (p<0.05).
A significant relationship was noted between mastalgia score and breast stiffness in Group 1.
