calcification deposits after cosmetic surgery

calcification deposits after cosmetic surgery

Hi there. I am 43 and underwent a mastoplexy (breast uplift with no implants) about 10 years ago. I suffer from pain around the nipples and my GP sent me for a mammogram. They have requested a stero needle biopsy as they have seem some calcium deposits. However, I was wondering if these deposits could be the result of the mastoplexy - my left breast has also felt very sensitive ever since. Can anyone advice please? Thank you very much

Microcalcifications are found normally scattered about within the breast. When they are found to be in groups or clusters they are cause for concern. In these patterns they are an indication of the response of the breast tissue to some abnormality within the breast. This abnormality can be benign as well as cancerous and a biopsy is always required to reveal the true cause. I don't know if this could be related to your previous surgery ... the biopsy will be your only definite answer.  Good Luck ..
