I was told I have extremely dense breasts. I wanted to get breast implants. Will I not be able to have this procedure?

As long as you've been cleared by the radiologist and primary care doctors, you should be good to go for the breast augmentation!  A good detailed consultation is required with a board certified plastic surgeon before the procedure.
Thanks for your question!

Dense breasts do not make you ineligible for a breast augmentation if your upcoming tests are all normal. A breast augmentation does not increase your risk for developing a breast disorder. It will also not prevent future surveillance of cystic breasts, especially if the implants are placed behind the muscle. Good luck!

Dense breast tissue is not a contraindication to breast augmentation. As long as you are healthy, your dense breast tissue should not be an issue. Candidates should be healthy. You should also have a clear screening mammogram within 6 months of surgery.Implants will not significantly impact breast cancer surveillance going forward (especially when placed submuscular). MRI, the most sensitive and specific imaging study, is unaffected by the presence of implants. In light of the ubiquitous nature of implants, nowadays, most dedicated breast radiologists are very comfortable interpreting studies with implants in place.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
