Fibroadenoma and breast implants

John P. Stratis, 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. If the fibroadenoma is easily removed at the time of the breast augmentation I would suggest doing that also.
