Breast Reduction and Fibroadenomas
Breast reduction surgery is extremely safe and life changing for many patients. Most patients will report immediate relief from the chronic neck, shoulder and back pain caused by large, poorly supported breasts.

It is more common than not to have fibroadenomae in breasts. I always obtain a pre operative mammogram and if there is still a concern a breast general surgeon's in person opinion. Hope that helps!

It is not uncommon to find fibroadenomas on preop mammograms for all the breast surgeries I perform. If feasible, I will try to remove them at the time of a reduction and even have had some needle localized preop to be sure I get them out.

Breast fibroadenomas and Breast Reduction
Breast fibroadenomas are extremely common and most young women have them. We routinely perform Breast Reduction surgery on women who have fibroadenomas. All the breast tissue removed is sent to Pathology which further examines it, looking for occult malignancies. As a personal preference, I usually get a baseline mammogram on all my breast reduction patients to serve as a guide in the future of what the breasts used to look like.
