I’ve want to know if you can have breast augmentation (implants) and removal of a Fibroadenomas lump at the same time or does the lump even effect the augmentation as they will come back again from what I’ve learned ? If they are to be removed it should be part of a general surgery and if so do all plastic surgeons not have to have this qualification before becoming a plastic surgeon? Please let me know?

Answer: Removal of #fibroadenoma at time of #breast implants Hi anabelleee. Thank you for your question. A benign #breast lump can be removed safely at the time of your #BA provided that your surgeon is happy to do this for you. Your surgeon would need to see all the tests which have been done on the fibroadenoma before advising you on this. Good luck.

Answer: Fibroadenoma and breast augmentation You can certainly have your fibroadenoma removed at the same time as your breast augmentation. This can be done with either a general surgeon working with your plastic surgeon, or with the plastic surgeon alone. If the mass is in an difficult to access location, or not able to be easily felt, you may require image guidance for removal. In this scenario, I usually work with my general surgery colleagues. When removed completely, fibroadenomas do not typically return, but you can develop new ones in the future. Fibroadenomas are usually quite easy to identify on imaging, but if there is any concern about malignancy, the lesion should be biopsied prior to your surgery. Good luck!
