Breast lift and augmentation with fibrocystic breasts?

Fibrocystic breasts or fibrocystic breast disease (FCD) is a condition of breast tissue affecting an estimated 30-60% of women and at least 50% of women of childbearing age. It is characterized by noncancerous breast lumps which can sometimes cause discomfort, often periodically related to hormonal influences from the menstrual cycle.  They are benign and usually diffuse throughout the entire breast.Breast lifts, reductions or placement of breast implants have no influence on FCD and it is not possible to remove all of the FCD.  If some cysts are large enough or painful they can be aspirated or removed.Good Luck!

Your surgeon may choose to remove cyst from your breast during your breast augmentation and lift.  I recommend my patients get a mammogram prior to any breast lift procedure.  Discuss your options with your surgeon.
