Is it safe to get breast implants with fibroid cysts in your breasts?

Question

Shlomo Widder, MD · Answer

Dear Leah,    I assume you ment fibrocystic condition of the breasts. This is a benign condition of your breasts, sometimes associated with consumption of caffein. Since it is a benign condition, it should not deter you  from having breast augmentaion that can be so beneficial for your well being. That condition might subject you to more mammograms or needle aspirations of cysts or biopsys of palpable masses . You will have to find a surgeon who is comfortable doing the procedures with breasts implants. These are inconveniences but the benefits of breasts augmentation outweighs them. Consult with board certified plastic surgeons and check their before and after pictures to make sure that you like the results.                 Best of luck,                               Dr Widder

No, it is not unsafe to undergo breast augmentation surgery with benign breast lesions present. Keep in mind, that if these lesions are palpable to the touch, they may become even more so once breast implants are in place and “push” breast tissue forward.  Sometimes, if a patient  has a benign breast lesion such as a fibroadenoma present, it can be removed at the same time as breast augmentation surgery. This is especially true if the lesion is close to the  incision line planned for the breast augmentation procedure. I hope this helps.

Thank you for the question.In my opinion a breast implant can be done and shouldn´t interfere with none. I would recommend a mammogram exam before the pricedure and have it be evauated by your PS. Always choos a board certified doctor.
