If I Remove my Fibroadenoma Could Breast Reconstruction Help?

KinNY
I am a 27 year old female. I had an ultrasound guided biopsy done in 2007 which confirmed I had a 3cm fibroadenoma. Last week, I had an ultrasound and mammogram which showed the fibroadenoma had grown to over 7cm. My surgeon has stated that removal is my option, but cautioned me that 1/4 of my breast would be affected due to the large size of the fibroadenoma, possibly leaving me disfigured. I am wondering whether I should have it removed. If so, could reconstruction of the breast help?
