I am very interested in getting silicone breast implants under the muscle and through periareolar incision. Can I still get this procedure done if I still have lumps from over pumping my breasts with a breast enlargement pump 14 years ago? I still have lumps that become sore and can be felt if my breasts are squeezed too hard and often. The lumps "go away" when I let my breasts rest and just flare up occasionally if squeezed too hard. I recently had a mammogram and results were normal.

Answer: Can I get implants? If your mammogram is normal then you should be able to proceed with breast augmentation. Be sure to speak to your surgeon about your history and bring along your mammogram report if are able. I've included a video about breast augmentation that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Yes, but... Of course you can, however, I high discourage a periareolar incision. First, it's not a 'invisible' as its reputation would have you believe, and conversely, an inframammary incision is not a conspicuous as reputation would have it. Much more importantly, periareolar incisions lead to higher rates of capsular contracture (even when implant delivery funnels are used) and much more invasive surgeries to fix. Inframammary incisions have the lowest rates of contracture. Be smart: choose an implant that fits within your chest/breast anatomy, and choose an inframammary incision and placement under the pec major muscle.
