What is Breast Surgery?
Breast surgery is the removal of the entire breast or parts of the breast, as well as the draining of cancerous lymph nodes. These surgeries are performed on a male or female’s breast if they are diagnosed with breast cancer, lymph nodes, or as per their personal desires.
Types of Breast Surgery
The umbrella term "breast surgery" holds different types of surgeries depending upon the severity and needs of the patient. Some are performed for medical reasons such as breast cancer surgery (mastectomy), breast-conserving surgery or lump removal surgery (lumpectomy), and breast reduction to get rid of back pain. They are also performed for cosmetic reasons such as breast augmentation, breast reduction surgery, breast uplift surgery (mastopexy), and breast reconstruction, usually performed after breast cancer surgery.
Procedure for Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is a major decision that should be carefully considered and addressed with a specialist before being made. Below is the five-step procedure involved in breast surgery:
1. Anaesthesia: General anaesthesia is given to the patient to make the procedure painless.
2. Incision: The location of the incision depends on the position of cancer or lymph nodes for medical surgery, and for cosmetic surgery, it depends upon the size of the breast the patient wants and also your surgeon’s recommendation. The incision might be along your areola, in the fold under your breast, around your nipples, or in your armpit.
3. Removal or reconstruction: Extra tissue, skin, or fat is removed or implanted as per the surgery's demands, either under the pectoral muscle or directly behind the breast tissue. Your surgeon will come up with the best options to figure out and treat your issue.
4. Close the incisions: Surgical tape or a skin adhesive is used to close the skin after layering sutures are placed in the tissue to close the wound. The incision line scar will ultimately fade.
5. Monitor the results: The results of the surgery will be visible the very next day, and your doctor will also monitor the complications (if any) for a few days.
