Can benign lumps be removed during implants? Planning to do under muscle silicone implants.

Thank you for your question. I don’t recommend having benign lumps removed during augmentation surgery, for a couple of reasons. First, a breast surgeon is a better choice to remove the lumps, and to advise you as to whether they even need to be removed. Second, removing the lumps during augmentation surgery can put you at risk for complications, including capsular contracture. I recommend that you talk to both a breast surgeon and a specialist plastic surgeon -they can examine you and offer advice on the safest way to proceed that will offer you the best possible results. Good luck!

I would not recommend it, especially if there is no real indication to remove them. It causes more trauma to the tissues and since it cuts through breast tissue/ducts would likely increase the risk of capsular contracture similar to going through a nipple incision or the axilla.
