40 yrs old- I want breast implants but have a history of fibroadenomas. Am I a good candidate? What are the considerations?

Asked By:trigirlEF in Dallas, Texas

I have been researching breast augmentation an before getting my hopes up, i'd like to figure out if i am even an ideal candidate for this procedure? I have always sort of assumed that i may not be. I had 3 fibroademonas/ benign breast lumps biopsied (one almost totally removed) in my early 20's. (i'm now 40) with no changes since that time. Would appreciate any input i should keep in mind/whether or not i should even consider a BA.
