Breast Augmentation After Having Cysts and Scar Tissue Removed?

I just had Breast surgery and had some cysts removed and it caused an indention and (SOFT) spot. I want that fixed and I would like to go from my A/B to a D, I am not worried about people noticing as thats why they make bulky sweatshirts, but its for myself and for my husband.

Is Breast augmentation still an OPTION for me now that I had the cysts/scar tissue removed. What should I be aware of in Michigan?

Breast augmentation is safe

As long as you continue to have routine screening mammography, and acknowledge that the presence of a sub-muscular breast implant limits the amount of breast tissue that can be surveyed on mammography somewhat, then I don't see a reason why you should not proceed with augmentation.

Hi, Thank you for your question. There is no reason why you can't have a breast augmentation after having benign cysts removed. You want to keep in mind that sometimes irregularities, such as the indentation from having your cysts removed, could become more apparent after the augmentation as it tends to make these more noticeable.

Breast Augmentation following cyst excision

Yes, you can still have a Breast augmentation following your cyst excision. If you have a small indentation, however, this may be more noticeable following the augmentation, as a larger breast can make irregular areas more obvious after surgery. In some cases, your surgeon can place a small amount of fat into an indented area, but this is very dependent upon the surgeon and your anatomy. Good luck.
