How soon can you have a breast lift after lump removal surgery? Background: I’m 21, had 3 surgeries since March 2016. Phyllodes tumor removal, tissue removal the month after, and then the removal of another fibroadenoma. Also 2 biopsies within the last 6 months. I also currently have a new lump and will see exactly what it is once I get my biopsy results and an upcoming mammo. All of this has left me with 2 very visible scars, that can most likely only be removed thru a cosmetic procedure.

Answer: Breast reconstruction Thank you for your question. It is difficult to answer your question without knowing the anatomy of where the lesions are located. In general however, the best time to do this especially in the face of benign disease would be to do it coordinated with your breast surgeon and plastic surgeon at the same time when you have your lesion excision and breast lift in the same operation.

Answer: Breast Lift after fibroadenomal removal Hi Brklyn123 and thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your experience but thankfully you seem to be in the hands of a great breast surgeon. A breast lift can be performed after a fibroadenoma removal, but I typically recommend waiting at least three months between the procedures to allow your body and tissue to heal appropriately. Depending on the specifics of the case and your preoperative anatomy you might also want to consider placing a small breast implant to account for any volume loss or volume discrepancy between your breasts as a result of your prior breast surgeries. As a general rule of practice, I would encourage that your board certified plastic surgeon and breast surgeon be in close communication regarding your case and medical history. I would also encourage you to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review your candidacy for a breast lift procedure and formulate the best plan of action for you. I hope that you find this helpful and I wish you all of the best!
