Brief Answer:
No, not likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Mammography is an easy and very sensitive test. There are not many factors which can affect this test. And for sure oral stimulation can not affect it. So it is not likely to be possible.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
