A healthcare team member places your breasts on a platform, raises or lowers them, and then presses them against the platform with a transparent plastic plate, giving pressure for a few seconds to spread the breast tissue. The force isn&#8217;t deadly, but it can cause some discomfort. Notify your healthcare team if the pain becomes too much.
