What are Breast Surgeries?
Breast surgeries are surgical procedures performed to diagnose, remove, or treat diseases affecting the breast. These procedures may be recommended for benign breast lumps, fibroadenomas, breast cysts, abscesses, suspicious breast lesions, gynecomastia in men, or breast cancer.
Depending on the diagnosis, surgery may involve removing a small breast lump, draining an abscess, excising abnormal tissue, or performing more extensive procedures for cancer treatment.
Each surgery is planned according to the patient’s diagnosis, age, symptoms, imaging findings, biopsy results, and overall health.

Pre-operative Evaluation
Patients may undergo:
- Blood investigations
- Breast imaging
- Biopsy review
- Anesthesia assessment
- Medication review
During Surgery
The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the type of surgery.
The surgeon carefully removes the abnormal tissue while preserving healthy breast tissue whenever clinically appropriate.
For breast cancer surgery, lymph node evaluation may also be performed when indicated.
The incision is closed using cosmetic sutures to promote optimal healing.
Duration
Most breast surgeries take approximately 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the type and complexity of the procedure.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery depends on the specific procedure performed.
Most patients experience gradual improvement over the first few days after surgery.
Recovery recommendations include:
- Take prescribed medications
- Keep the wound clean and dry
- Wear a supportive bra if advised

- Attend follow-up appointments
- Follow pathology review recommendations

Minor procedures usually allow return to normal activities within a few days, while more extensive surgeries may require several weeks for complete recovery.

- Bleeding

- Bruising
- Seroma

Careful surgical planning and meticulous technique help minimize these risks.
