Hi, I’m 19 and I have a benign mass in my breast but I also want to get a breast reduction. Is it possible for a surgeon to take it out during the procedure?

Answer: Mass Hello, Thank you for your question. It's difficult to answer for sure without more info about the mass and your breasts, but chances are it can be done at the same time as a breast reduction. As you probably know, a lift is performed as part of the procedure as well. It is covered by insurance and it can even possibly be done in an office based OR setting, which is more comfortable and convenient than a hospital. Breast reduction is a great procedure with an extremely high satisfaction rate. Mark G. Albert, M.D., F.A.C.S.New York, NY and Boston, MA

Answer: Mass removal Dear Ebunoluwa, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to combine breast reduction and mass removal. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
