Breast Surgery/Mastectomy

Breast Surgery/Mastectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the breast tissue. Depending on the type of surgery, it can also involve the removal of some of the lymph nodes, usually located in the armpit. This procedure is usually done to treat breast cancer, but can also be used to treat other conditions such as benign tumors, cysts, breast abscesses, and certain types of cancer.

In breast cancer cases, a mastectomy is often recommended to remove the cancerous cells and tissue. This procedure is usually recommended for women who are at a high risk for the disease, such as those who have a family history of breast cancer. During a mastectomy, the surgeon will remove all of the breast tissue, including the nipple, areola, and some of the skin surrounding the breast area. In some cases, the lymph nodes may be removed as well.

Reconstructive surgery may be recommended to restore the look and feel of the breasts after a mastectomy. Depending on the type of reconstruction, implants, tissue flaps, or a combination of both may be used to rebuild the breasts. This type of surgery is highly specialized and requires extensive training and experience to achieve the desired results.

After a mastectomy, it is important to take the necessary steps to ensure proper healing and to reduce the risk of complications. This can include taking medications to reduce swelling, avoiding strenuous activities, and wearing a special post-operative bra. Follow-up care is also important to monitor any changes in the breast tissue and to ensure that the cancer has not spread.
