Breast Augmentation
by Jen26766, Mar 11, 2008 02:37AM
I have paid for my breast augmentation and the surgery day is two days away. My mother is the one who gave me the money for this and now she wants to back out because she thinks i will die from the procedure. I was given a blood test and pregnancy test but she believes that they should have scheduled me to have an ECG beforehand. I am healthy with only asthma problems. Is she right to be concered? Could something happen to me that they didnt find in the blood test?

ECG's are usually required by anesthesiologists when patients have a prior history of cardiac disease or hypertension. In the absence of any significant prior medical conditions, they are usually not necessary.
