Do you typically require a mammogram to be done before having the surgery? How far out will you accept the mammo? Is 6 mo prior to surgery acceptable with no prior hx of cancer? I am too young for insurance to cover an elective mammography but hospital is running a special rate for all women over 35 y.o.

Answer: Health requirement before breasts augmentation Dear Amanda, I have been in practice for over 29 years and performed breasts augmentation with implants on thousands of patients. As long as my patients are healthy and under the age of 45, they do not required any tests of physical exam before surgery. In regard to mammogram, since you are under the age of forty and do not have family history (mother, sisters) of cancer, it is unnecessary for you to get mammogram and by doing so, you are getting less cumulative radiation. After age 40 m you will need mammogram once every 2 years and once a year after the age of 50. There is another important issue that you did not ask about, but it is critical for you. Not all results are the same, because experience, skills and aesthetic eye are mandatory for good outcome . So do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely, to avoid bad result and need for corrective surgery. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking. Best of luck, Dr Widder
