Breast cysts & dense tissue, can I not get an augmentation?

Without proper radilogy report and risks evaluation for BrCa, it would be impossible to give you good advice. Implant is placed underneath breast tissue and breast muscle, which is allowing proper breast imaging in the future. There is no data to support that implant augmentation increases the risk for breast cancer. Consultation with breast ocologyst and second opinion plastic surgery consult is recommended. Good luck.

If you have undergone a mammogram and have had confirmed that the cysts are benign generally you should be able to proceed with breast augmentation. It is important to continue to monitor your breasts regularly and have mammograms as recommended by your breast health physician.

Thank you for submitting your question. Before performing any breast surgery it is always prudent to investigate any masses as you did with mammogram and ultrasound. If the results have come back as benign cysts then you can still have a breast augmentation done. If however, you are planning to have the cysts removed, it is advised to have it removed prior to having a breast augmentation surgery to prevent risk of implant rupture, exposure, or infection. If you are not planning on having the cysts removed then breast augmentation can sometimes make the cysts/bumps more visible or palpable due to the added volume underneath pushing them outwards. Hope this helps.
