Breast Augmentation and Fibroadenomas

C. Bob Basu, MD answers: Can patients with fibroadenoma get breast implants?

If a fibroadenoma is proven to be benign is it okay to get breast implants? Or do I have to remove it before getting implants?

There is no reason why you cannot have breast implants.  Fibroadenomas are benign breast masses.  However, before considering breast augmentation, I would recommend you visit with a breast surgeon for a work up of your breast mass.  Is this biopsy proven to be a benign fibroadenoma?  Is additional imaging of the breasts needed.  I would get these questions answered first to make sure indeed what you are feeling is benign.
