Thyroid cancer and breast augmentation - is it safe to undergo surgery?

00fhazJul 7, 2022
Hi i have booked my breast augmentation last year for august 2022 after years of breastfeeding they are not the same, how ever i found a nodule in my neck and had an ultrasound to which it may turn out to be thyroid cancer, my ent consultant has said it appears as it is at a very early stage and they may need to remove part of the thyroid but there is no rush as the nodule is very small they have done a biopsy to which we are awaiting results, is it safe to go ahead with BA?

It appears you would benefit from a revision of the left breast. The exact cause and recommended procedure cannot be determined without a clinical examination. Discuss this with your surgeon who can present your options and proceed to the desired correction.
