Benign breast lump removal, also known as lumpectomy or excisional biopsy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove non-cancerous lumps or masses from the breast. Usually, this procedure is done under local anaesthesia and involves making a small incision. It is a common and straightforward surgical intervention used to alleviate concerns, provide a definitive diagnosis, or address discomfort associated with benign breast lumps.
The anaesthetics will be used depending on the type of surgery and patient’s condition. Our female cosmetic surgeon employs minimally invasive techniques to remove benign breast lumps, using advanced technology. Typically, a curved incision is made in the breast as part of the surgical process. After the surgery, the surgeon will carefully stitch the incision and apply a dressing to promote proper healing and ensure a smooth recovery process.
Recovery varies based on the procedure type. Dr Pinky will provide detailed instructions for follow-up care, including medication and dressing care. Aftercare may involve rest, sponge-baths, wearing a support bra, and some recommended arm exercises. There may be itching and sensitivity as nerves regenerate. The removed tissue undergoes examination by a pathologist. The doctor discusses results and the next steps with the individual.
