I have a breast augmentation scheduled. X Ray was normal but my EKG was not. will this make me ineligible for my surgery?

HI Exuberant,

Your surgeon should have the EKG reviewed by a cardiologist unless your surgeon is a cardiologist.
The cardiologist or the internal medicine doctor can then decide if you need a further work-up.
You and your surgeon will feel better about going into the surgery once an expert can give his/her opinion on this study.
Hope this helps a bit.

Best,
Dr. Christine Rodgers

I am not sure why a 25 year old healthy patient even had a chest xray or EKG pre op. That is pretty much never done anymore. Your abnormal EKG was only a possible enlarged right atrium. This is probably not significant, but now that it is there you will need to be cleared medically. You will probably be able to have your surgery once that is done. Good luck.
