Micro calcifications in a young patient? Dos this mean I shouldn't go ahead with breast implants?

Microcalcifications and benign lumps, if not cancerous, are not a contraindication for breast augmentation. I would recommend placing the breast implant in a submuscular position so that examination and mammograms can continue to monitor your microcalcifications in comparison to your baseline mammogram.

Dear Dreamingofchange31,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You should examine calcifications very thoroughly. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question. Presence of micro calcifications are concerning and they need to be fully evaluated to rule out malignancies, I would see a breast surgeon first before having breast implants. Best,

Hi and welcome to our forum!Microcalcifications of the breasts may be totally benign but their presence mandates a biopsy to rule out a malignancy. I recommend you visit a general surgeon to evaluate your breasts. If the microcalcifications prove benign, there is no contraindication to breast augmentation. Followup mammographic studies will be required.Best wishes...
