I would like BA surgery to increase size slightly but also to correct significant breast asymmetry. Left breast is A size and right breast is AA. I also have a giant fibroadenoma in my left breast approx 4-5 cm. Do I need to have the fibroadenoma removed prior to BA surgery? If I choose to leave it, how will it impact results of BA? I would like to hear the perspective of plastic surgeon compared to what the breast specialist recommends.
Answer: Fibroadenoma should be removed... Thank you for your question and photos. A specific recommendation can only be provided after a physical examination in person. That said I t would be best to address the fibroadenoma either before your augmentation or potentially at the same operation. Asymmetry is definitely an issue that should be addressed as part of breast augmenting and it would be best to do so by addressing the main cause of the asymmetry, namely the fibroadenoma.

Answer: Fibroadenoma You can consider having a benign fibroadenoma removed prior to surgery or potentially at the same time. If you leave it as is and continue with surgery it may be more visible when the implants are placed, distorting your shape.

Answer: If I have a giant fibroadenoma in left breast, do I need to have it removed prior to breast augmentation? (photos) A benign fibroadenoma can be removed during the time of breast augmentation surgery. This is especially true if the lesion is close to the planned incision for the breast surgery.

Answer: If I have a giant fibroadenoma in left breast, do I need to have it removed prior to breast augmentation? (photos Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. In order to get the best, most symmetrical pairing of implants I would first have your fibroadenoma addressed, then have the augmentation performed. Hope this helps.

Answer: Breast mass I definitely would not leave the fibroadenoma. It would be acceptable to remove it prior to surgery or at the same time. I would remove it through a periareolar incision at the top of your areola but would not put the implant in though that incision. I would use an inframammary incision and put the implant under the muscle.
