Mastectomy, One Side

Mastectomy is the removal of the breast for any discomfort. A simple mastectomy is simply the removal of breast tissue. Radical mastectomy, on the other hand, is the removal of the muscles under the breast and lymph nodes in the armpit, along with the breast that is applied in cancer cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is mastectomy a major surgery?

Yes, it is considered as a major surgery.

How painful is a mastectomy?

It is normal to feel pain or discomfort after the mastectomy procedure. Since each individual’s pain threshold is different, the severity and duration of pain may vary from person to person.

Can breast tissue grow back after mastectomy?

In many mastectomy procedures, the breast tissue is completely removed. As a result, it is not uncommon for breast tissue to recur after the procedure. Luckily, you can have breast reconstruction to restore the natural breast appearance after the procedure.
