What is Meant by Breast Surgery?
As the name suggests, breast surgeries are a group of surgeries that are performed for both men and women in the breast area. There are 2 main types of breast surgeries, and these are cosmetic surgeries such as breast augmentation and reduction, and general – or therapeutic – surgeries such as breast cancer removal surgeries. We specialize in the latter type.
How Would I Know If I Need
Breast Surgery?
Breast surgeries are needed when a problem arises in the breast area. These problems include:
· Infection and Abscess.
· Cysts.
· Tumors (both benign and malignant)
· Any lump of unknown origin or effect.
The first symptom that should alert you to a problem is a visible or palpable lump in your breast. If that lump is painful, it is even more indicative of a problem, and we advise you to seek advice from your surgeon as soon as possible.
Unlike common belief, breast problems can occur for both men and women, although they are far more common in women. With early detection, the surgery becomes relatively easy and with no major complications, which is why early detection through screening– which we also offer – is a critical part of your surgical journey.
