Breast surgery ?'s: A cosmetic breast reduction at age 53 should include a pre-operative digital mammogram or a bilateral MRI of breasts if the patient has a strong family history of breast cancer. The actual surgery does not involve removal of sentinel or other lymph nodes, which are of course important for later surveillance to evaluate breast cancer if detected in remaining breast tissue.
