My Doctor thought there may be a possible leak in my saline implants a few years back. I was told by my doctors patient cordinater/office manager well I had been waiting for my suergeon in the exam room. I was then told by my suergeon I had a saline breast implant leak . Should my Doctor ordered a ultrasound/MRI/blood test done before my emergency suergery two weeks after the implant leak was detected? It seems like maybe more should have been done before surgery besides a assumption.
