Age 46 Considering Breast Aug. No History of Breast Cancer, But Have Pain When Stressed. Am I a Candidate?

I went for a mamo before my pre op I was badly hurt by the tech, Was in pain for 6 months, as a result they told me I had 2 solid nodules. 3 months later I went for a mamo and a ultra sound everything was benign and my DR. told me to come back next year. So far I have no family history of breast cancer,but when I am under stress I still have little pain here and there. 9 months after that horrible experience now I would like to know who I need to see to confirm that it is ok to have breast augmentation
