Capsular Contracture and Mammogram. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your implant issues and suspicious findings. I would follow up closely with your breast surgeon for an in-person examination and discussion of the next best imaging modality. I would be in favor of an MRI, but depending on the mass location a biopsy may also be indicated.  Hope this helps. 

You should see your surgeon and have an in person examination to determine the cause of the lump and the following procedures to be done. Good Luck!

Probably best to contact a breast surgeon who can guide you re: the best imaging modalities. Typically, ultrasound is performed after a mammogram but you may need an MRI or a needle biopsy to help define the lump. Good luck!

I appreciate
your question.I would recommend ultrasound and breast MRI along with biopsy if needed.  Please follow up with your MD.

The best way
to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a
board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

Unfortunately, thermography has been a let-down in the accuracy department.Next step would be ultrasound and breast MRI, and possible biopsy of the lump, if imaging is suspicious.All the best,
