Cyst in breasts - am I still OK to go ahead with breast lift with implants? (Photo)

The infection would need to be cleared before your surgery. It would be best to let your surgeon know about your situation so they can decide whether it would be safe to proceed with the cyst.

Thank you for your question. If you are planning to undergo a breast lift and implants, it is important to make sure that any infections in the breast are treated first. If your doctor has prescribed antibiotics for an infected cyst, complete the entire course of treatment and ensure that the infection is completely cleared. Breast augmentation or lift may often be performed even if you have cysts or benign tumors. However, a complete assessment, including mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRIs, may be required, along with a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases, if there are one or two separate cysts near the augmentation incision area, it may be possible to do the augmentation simultaneously with cyst removal. However, it is important to consult a board-certified surgeon to discuss your needs and evaluate both the cyst and your breast health to determine the best course of action.

Thanks for your question!
You should be fine to go ahead with the surgery, but reach out to your surgeon to keep him or her in the loop. Best wishes!
