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

Hello, thank you for your question. There is no contraindication for getting a breast augmentation with a family history of breast cancer. With that said given your family history, it sounds like you are taking all the preemptive precautions and staying on top of things. I would speak to your OBGYN to see if this a good option and maybe you would have to undergo more MRIs if you were to get silicone implants. implants don't cause breast cancer, but sometimes the implants skew the tissue that makes ultrasound and mammogram difficult to pick up smaller lumps.

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.
