I have breast implants 230cc. I been diagnosed with fibroadenomas after breast implants.Now is 2 years and they still the same I decided to remove then. Also i Would like to change my implants to 300cc. The question is : Will it be safe my plastic surgeon to remove fibroadenomas and replace my implants at the same time ? Or Would it be better to remove fibroadenomas with a Mastologist and could my implants have a risk of rupture ? Thanks very much !
