Strong family history of breast cancer, do you think it's safe for me to have a breast augmentation?

Thank you for your question. Statistically for you this procedure is safe but I believe I would discuss this with your primary care physician, your OBGYN, and the board-certified plastic surgeon of your choice. Regarding safety of a mammogram post-breast surgery, the average wait time is typically six months to a year. There are many facets to consider, not the least at which is your peace of mind. Be careful and good luck.

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
It should be safe for you to undergo breast augmentation surgery with the above BIRADS findings, but close follow up with imaging is typically recommended. I would also encourage an evaluation by a Breast Surgeon prior to undergoing surgery.
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
Best wishes and good luck.
