Update -- Mammography after Breast Lift
on 1/10/13 1:20 pm
I had the follow up mammogram and ultra-sound yesterday ---- and they have decided that what they were seeing is some scar tissue/thickening on my right breast -- above the nipple.
My surgeon removed my nipples and re-positioned them during my breast lift ---- and the healing has been very good, but is showing a shadow on my mammogram -- and they wanted a closer look.
I am relieved that it is not anything serious - and will be sure to get in next year for a follow up (I typically am a 'slug' about going for mammograms and bone-density scans -- but promise to be faithful to once a year from now on).
Thank YOU to everyone who expressed good wishes and encouraged me to not panic!!!!!!
And everyone else out there --- get those boobies checked -- and don't freak if they see some scar tissue!!!
I just went in today. My last mammogram was just before my BL 2 yrs ago. It was way easier than when the boobs were floppy bunny ears. I won't freak now, if they want me to come back for another x-ray.
Glad it all worked out, it is scary.

I lost no feeling from my nipples being moved. I don't think any of Dr Sauceda's patients have complained of loss of sensation from their nipples. This is good news!
