Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
Few subcentimetric mediastinal lymph nodes are normally seen. They are not pathologic. Only if they are greater than 1 cms it is considered pathologic. Also, breast implants in situ are because you have breast implants but it is nothing pathological. Both these findings are not significant. You don't need to be worried/alarmed and be reassured that nothing is wrong.
Hope it sorts your problem.
