Iwouldliketogeta breast lift done however, my grandma had breast cancer and I heard it skips a generation. If I get a breast lift 1. would the lift make it make it harder to detect breast cancer and 2. would the breast lift in some weird way "cause" breast cancer? Also, my friend told me that what some woman do to avoid the possibly of getting breast cancer, is to have their natural breast tissue removed and get implants. She said it's a way of "preventing" getting breast cancer. Is this true?

Answer: Breast lifting and breast cancer There is no evidence to indicate that having a Breast lift will increase the likelihood of individual's chances in the future of having breast cancer. Also, having a breast lift does not preclude the requirement for women to have mammographies done on a routine basis to detect breast cancer. Mammography still quite effective after breast lift and breast reduction surgery.At the same time, having prophylactic mastectomy, which is what your friend is probably talking about, is likely overkill in case of healthy woman without a strong genetic or family history of breast cancer.
