Quick answers
The
The
questions
people
ask first.
Is it painful?
Many women have found traditional mammograms to be painful. At Solis Mammography, our skilled technologists are trained in positioning you correctly to reduce pain and discomfort. Additionally, many of our centers use SmartCurve, a curved compression surface shaped like a woman's breast. Designed to reduce compression on the chest wall, as well as pinching and tugging, SmartCurve distributes pressure more evenly for a more comfortable mammogram. Research has shown that 93 percent of women who previously experienced pain during mammograms found SmartCurve to be more comfortable.
Breast cancer doesn't run in my family. Do I still need one?
Yes. Most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. Family history can increase your risk and put you into a high-risk category, but its absence doesn't protect you. This is why annual mammograms are recommended for women of average risk starting at age 40.
Do I need to prep beforehand?
If you are a new patient, you will need to send any previous mammography records to Solis Mammography prior to your appointment. Your previous images will be compared to your new exam images by our breast-specialized radiologists.
Additionally, follow the directions below to make your appointment go as smoothly as possible:
- Don't apply deodorant the day of your exam. It can interfere with your images and cause an unnecessary return visit.
- Wear a two-piece outfit. You will undress only from the waist up. We provide comfortable privacy capes to wear during your visit.
- Avoid using any lotion, powder, cream or perfume the day before or the day of your appointment.
How long does it take?
Most appointments only take 30 minutes. The mammogram procedure generally takes less than 10 minutes, with each breast getting compressed twice. Many women schedule their mammograms during their lunch break or in between other activities. Solis Mammography makes mammograms quick and easy with online scheduling, convenient locations, efficient appointments and fast results.
What if I have breast implants?
Our technologists are specially trained to safely image breasts with implants for an accurate screening exam. Let your technologist know about your implants so they can tailor your exam – sharing implant type or placement can support clearer imaging.

40-somethings.
North Texas patient
"I was so nervous and panicked as it was my first mammogram and you heard stories from your mother to your coworker’s saying that the machine’s compressions are very ‘painful’ and ‘uncomfortable’. The screening lasted maybe 10 minutes and it was, dare I say, comfortable and not painful as much as I thought it was going to be. My first mammogram was a success."
Phoenix patient
“I had my first mammogram at Solis and was terrified due to a family history of breast cancer. The machine itself was painless. I honestly felt a little silly afterwards for being so scared. The ease of everything from booking to results has made me comfortable with getting yearly scans now. ❤️"
Houston patient
"I just had my very first mammogram, and I want to share my experience to encourage any woman who may be nervous or putting it off. I won’t lie—I was a little anxious walking in because I didn’t know what to expect. The whole process was quick, professional, and honestly not as scary as I imagined. To any woman who’s been hesitating: please go. Taking this step made me proud of myself—and I hope it inspires you to do the same. 💗"
Jennifer, Glendale
“Great experience. No discomfort, very pleasant atmosphere, kind and professional staff and technician, easy online scheduling and quick appointment. I will definitely only be scheduling with Solis in the future!”
Mary, Greensboro
“This was my first experience getting a mammogram. Everyone told me it would be awful; "it hurts", "it's cold", etc. None of that was the case here. It was completely painless. The curved shape of the machine probably helped a lot! The staff were very kind and made me comfortable.”
