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.

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.   Patients are able to engage more easily in all forms of sports activity thus improving their sense of well being and their overall health.    Fibroadenomas are not a contraindication and in fact your surgeon may be able to remove them at the time of surgery.
