2nd opinion: Get a 2nd opinion as to whether the nodules and cyst present require more than just "routine follow up mammography". Cosmetic breast surgery can obscure many cancers that are present in the remaining breast tissue and waiting one year, if cancerous, would not be advisable due to possible progression.
