Implants and breast cancer family history

If there’s a family history of breast cancer (My Mum), would that affect any recommendations a surgeon might give? xx

I haven’t seen my surgeon yet (seeing him Wednesday) but at my appointment with PC, she said the history of breast cancer on my Mam’s side made no difference at all. x

Hey kezzakattami1, I was told that breast cancer is more detectable if the implant was placed under the muscle rather than over. Also if you have any breast screenings then it needs to be with someone that is trained to work with implants as if you get anyone that isn’t they may cause the implant to rupture if done incorrectly. Hope this helps a little bit. x

It runs in my family dads side! scarey stuff! but im booked in for my boobjob! xx

heeey babe. my friends family.every female has the breast cancer gene, as does she and she had a ba 2yrs ago and has been fine xx

i agree with fairydust

you may wanna go with unders hunn to be on the safer side

wish you all the best x x

My mum has had breast cancer and i had surgery in November, I have been advised that for any checks you just have to advise you have had implants xx

There’s breast cancer in my family too, maternal grandma and aunt. I was told it didn’t make a difference in detecting it, but as pauline said, you just have to make them aware when you go for a mammogram that you have implants. Discuss it with your surgeon to put your mind at rest hun xxx

Thanks for your responses ladies, sounds like i may have unders recommended but will wait and see.

I’ve just booked my first consultation YAYY! (with another major cosmetic co , not booked in with Mya yet as they go only two weeks ahead (got some time off work end of March for appt’s)

hey hun. what do u mean they only go two weeks a head? i booked.in november for 23rd march xx

I called them to book in for the initial consultation between 18-29th March as Im off work then. They said I had to ring back two weeks before??? Transform have booked me in for 18th March no problem

this is in regards to your initial consultation you can’t book your initial consultation any later than 2weeks from the day you call x

Ahh right, thanks hunx
