Can I get a breast augmentation if I have dense breast tissue?

Yes, you can get a breast augmentation if you have dense breast tissue. Breast density doesn't typically affect the outcome of a breast augmentation. Implants are placed beneath the breast tissue, so the density of the tissue itself doesn't significantly impact the procedure.

However, it's important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific situation and goals. They can provide a personalized assessment and determine if a breast augmentation is right for you.

Additionally, if you have dense breast tissue, it's essential to discuss any concerns you may have about breast cancer screening. Dense breast tissue can make it more difficult to detect abnormalities on mammograms. Your surgeon can provide guidance on additional screening options, such as ultrasounds or MRIs.

Hi tessabellarini
yes you can definitely have a breast augmentation with dense breast tissue. this is very common, especially in younger patients. It may be a good idea to have a preop mammogram to establish a baseline prior to having your implant surgery to rule out any concerns.
