Can I get breast implants with pre-existing lumps in breasts?

Thank you for your question. Your recent mammogram was normal, which indicates that the lumps are not associated with malignancy. However, further evaluation, such as an ultrasound or MRI, may be recommended to confirm that they are benign before proceeding with the augmentation. Breast implants under the muscle will not affect the lumps or exacerbate symptoms.

Thank you for your question. It is possible to get breast implants even with pre-existing lumps as long as the lumps have been evaluated and determined to be benign, which is indicated in your case based on normal mammogram results. However, your surgeon may recommend additional imaging or evaluation to confirm that the lumps are not a concern before moving forward with breast augmentation. Also, since your lumps flare up and become sore occasionally, your surgeon should be aware of this. A periareolar incision involves making an incision around the edge of your areola. This approach may put some pressure on the breast tissue during surgery, which could potentially irritate the lumps. It’s important to discuss with your surgeon whether this incision method is the best option for you.

You will need a recent mammogram to ensure that everything is okay and that nothing within your breast tissue is anything other than normal or benign. As long as you are medically cleared , breast implants should not cause any effect.
