Can I have breast reduction surgery even though I have fibroadenomas?

Question:
I was told I have fibroadenomas. Can you explain what these are? I’ve been considering breast reduction and I’m wondering if I can still undergo surgery.

Answer:
Fibroadenomas are benign tumors of the breast and need to be evaluated before breast reduction can be performed. Many times during breast reduction we can remove these fibroadenomas.
