"I want to have breast augmentation but I have fibrocystic breast disease.  Will this affect the end results of breast implants?"


— Answered by Elizabeth Hall-Findlay, MD

I don't know of any relationship between breast implants and fibrocystic disease.  Implants should not make any difference one way or the other - but if the patient needs aspiration of cysts, there could be a chance that the implant might get perforated by the aspiration needle.
