Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: Can a person who has a breast cyst have a breast augmentation? Sue
Answer: Yes, if the cyst is benign. Tests prior to a breast augmentation have to be done to confirm that the cyst is benign and not cancerous. After this is determined, if the benign cyst is close to where the breast implants are being put in the cyst can be removed at the same time as the breast augmentation. If a patient is concerned that the cyst will interfere with breast implants it can be removed or aspirated before the breast surgery. The surgeon can then use the scar from the cyst removal to put the breast implants in through.
