I am looking to perform a breast reduction very soon. I just found out I have a ball/lump of mass on my right breast. Can this cyst be removed during surgery ?

Answer: Cyst Removal Yes, this can likely be removed during surgery. All of the excised breast tissue is sent to Surgical Pathology and evaluated for cancer. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Is it possible for a Plastic Surgeon to remove a (breast cyst) during a breast reduction? ThanksA breast cyst can be removed at the time of a breast reduction surgery. It is possible that you have gone through a process of diagnosis by Scans. biopsy of this lump. If not, it is critical that this lump/cyst needs to be investigated and the diagnosis confirmed before breast reduction surgery. Best wishes
