Is it okay to receive a breast lift after having a mammogram with a breast marker?

Hi sunnybunny42H, I understand your concern. If there is nothing wrong with the results with your mammogram that can significantly affect your breasts during and after breast lift surgery, then you can definitely go ahead with the surgery. Please visit and consult a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your options. Make sure your surgeon understands your goals.  Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. bases in your question if the results of biopsy its bening , you can get surgery.

Dear sunnybunny,The missing piece here is the result of your biopsy.  If the results were completely benign, then a breast lift should not be contraindicated.  If the results showed any condition that needs to be monitored, then you might want to reconsider doing a breast lift.  Good luck!

Dear Sunny Bunny 42H,Hello and thank you for your excellent question.  Yes, you can still have a breast lift, even if you have had a breast biopsy with markers placed previously. You may want to look into the Bellesoma Breast Lift technique - it provides an exceptional breast lift, upper pole fullness, relief from neck and back pain, and no vertical breast lift scar. It uses a woman’s OWN breast tissue to produce an internal suspension technique, without the need for a breast implant. It does not disturb the nipple, areola, or breast glands, so sensation and the ability to lactate is preserved. It uses 3D scanning of your breasts and body to design a procedure specifically designed for YOU, and you alone. Finally, for patients who desire breast enlargement, it can be combined with fat grafting. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!

Best,
