Can I have breast augmentation without first removing the lump in my breast?
I had a mammogram to rule out a lump that has been in my breast for about 15 years. They suggested I have it removed, but project a benign outcome. However, I am having my breasts lifted with implants placed. Will this lump pose a problem? There is no time to have it removed before the surgery, and I am doing it with my friend, so I would like to go ahead with my scheduled appointment.
I realize what the risks are; I have talked with my doctor about it, and she feels it is not a lump of concern. What I am asking is can I have it removed after the augmentation? I do plan on speaking to my surgeon, I just thought someone out there might have had a similar experience.
Good Evening,
You really should go on the advise of your doctor and have it removed before the surgery. What we are really talking about my dear is a your doctor wants you to have a biopsy it does not mean you have breast cancer. Most breast lumps are not cancer. However, having a biopsy (removal and testing of a suspicious area of the breast) is the only way to know for sure. See a doctor about any changes in your breasts. Even if you do need a biopsy, it is encouraging to know that 4 of every 5 biopsy results are not cancer.
But, We are talking about life and death in some cases. After the surgery you can get the breast augmentation done as well as he can fix that area better..
I really feel that you should not proceed with the augmentation tell your friend what is going on and how much it means to you to do this together. If she wants to continue go to be her support and I am sure she will go with you later to be your support.
Please think of the other people around you..Do you want to possibly take a chance with your life. Think of how others would be affected by your decision. Please don’t play with your life. This is a very serious matter Hun do not treat it as if it isn’t.
You really do not consider getting here a serious medial opinion and advice on such a very important medical issue? Its your health we are talking about not your beauty. If you have a lump have it taken out or you will have to worry all your life why you didn’t. Go ask your surgeon.
I think that this is unwise, but you must raise it with your cancer doctor and not Yahoo answers.
