I was in Newport Beach today giving a talk on Breast Cancer for the [American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery][http://ascbs.org/]. It’s actually a very good meeting. The talk went well and since I gave it last year there were many more general surgeons in attendance and many more questions. I try to drive home 3 basic points.

1. If you don’t normally take care of breast cancer, don’t start. Find someone who does.
2. If your patient is looking for a revision of previous implants and something doesn’t feel right on exam, have it checked out.
3. Always get a screening mammogram prior to a cosmetic breast procedure.
