    Hello,

    I really want a breast enlargement but my main concern is cancer. What if the implant hides the lump etc. Did anyone else have this worry? How did they overcome it?

    My mam sadly passed away of breast cancer , she had implants too and she said if it wasn’t for the implants she wouldn’t of known for months and months as the implants projected the lump , It was more detectable, Iv been told if you have a history of breast cancer in the family they like do place the implants under the muscle don’t know how true this is ? Apparently There’s no evidence that you have a increased risk or chance by getting the implants trust me Iv done my reasearch !, it’s worth speaking to your surgeon though to put your mind at ease xxx

    Hey!

    Thank you for getting back to me, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.

    My nan on my dads side had breast cancer and she’s the only one out of the family to have breast cancer.

    It’s just something in the back of my mind but yes I agree, maybe the professionals can put me at ease!

    I think you will find that there is now a link to a rare cancer called ALCL. Although its not a breast cancer in patients with implants it occurs in the breast tissue surrounding the implant. Both consultations I have been to have brought it up (not with Mya).
