Call back for ultra sound after MRI for breast implants

Call back for ultra sound after MRI for breast implants

I have had a double mastectomy done 10 years ago. Thought there was a slight rupture on the r side 4 years ago and had the saline implant changed. I am now experiencing same problem, but this time with pain on r side. Went for breast/chest MRI and am now being asked to come back for a left breast ultrasound. I am scheduled for replacement surgery shortly, so even if there is something worng with the implant, why would I need to f/u with an ultrasound?

Evidently the Radiologist thinks that additional testing is necessary or he wouldn't have ordered it. This could be something other than the implant problem or something concerning the implant that wasn't quite clear with the MRI. You might contact your personal Physician and ask if it is necessary but I would certainly go ahead with it .... might be very important.
