Breast surgery is performed to remove tumors and tissues from the breast, which may be cancerous or non-cancerous. The procedures vary based on the tumor’s characteristics and include lumpectomy—removing the tumor and a small surrounding margin—and mastectomy, which may involve removing part or all of one or both breasts.
What It Treats
Breast surgery is used to:
- Remove cancerous tumors, tissues, or the entire breast (mastectomy).
- Remove non-cancerous growths that may cause discomfort.
Benefits of Breast Surgery
The benefits of have breast surgery include:
It could save your life: It removes cancerous tumors, tissue, and cells and can prevent cancer from spreading.
You’ll receive personalized treatment: Surgery can be tailored to the specific type and stage of breast cancer, considering the patient’s health and preferences.
What to Expect
Before: You’ll undergo detailed assessments, including imaging and biopsies. Dr. Warren and his team will discuss your surgery options, explaining the risks and benefits.
During: The procedure’s length varies by the type of surgery. General anesthesia is used. Efforts are made to preserve as much healthy tissue and appearance as possible.
After: While most patients having breast surgery go home the same day, some may require a short hospital stay during the post operative period. Dr. Warren and his team will discuss the specifics of your case and how this applies at your consultation. Pain and discomfort following the surgery are managed with medication. Follow-up care involves monitoring recovery, managing side effects, and additional cancer treatments, if needed.
