Answer: MRI Your surgeon, PCP or gynecologist can order an MRI but the main question is why you are wanting one. The physician who orders it will need to state the diagnosis, will receive the results and will be the one responsible for discussing them with you.

Answer: MRI Any physician can order an MRI. If you want insurance to cover the cost, you will need to start with a mammogram or ultrasound, and have the radiologist request an MRI. Just to check implants, do the ultrasound or mammogram.

Answer: Who is responsible for follow up? I think the answer to your question is pretty straightforward. Plastic surgeons are responsible for the follow up regarding issues related to plastic surgery. Primary care doctors and obstetricians no very little about breast implantation postoperative issues and it is not their responsibility to do follow up care after plastic surgery procedures. If you have questions or concerns after a plastic surgery operation, I suggest discussing those with your provider. If your provider is not available and seek second opinion, consultations from other plastic surgeons in your community. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
