Breast Surgery Q&A

What is breast surgery?

Breast surgery refers to any procedure that modifies breast tissue. Some choose to have breast surgery for cosmetic purposes, and others to treat diseases like breast cancer.

The team at Sierra Pacific Surgical specializes in breast surgery for benign and malignant tumors and gynecomastia. They also perform lymph node surgery and biopsies for breast cancer. 

What are the types of breast surgery?

There are many types of breast surgery. The team determines what type of surgery you need based on your concerns or diagnosis. Types of breast surgery include:

 

Lumpectomy

During a lumpectomy, the surgeons at Sierra Pacific Surgical remove benign or malignant lumps from the breast, conserving as much of the breast tissue as possible.

 

Mastectomy

A mastectomy is the surgical removal of one or both breasts. The team performs this procedure to treat breast cancer. They may also remove some of the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes. 

Some women may also choose to have a mastectomy as a preventive measure if they’re at high risk of developing breast cancer. Sierra Pacific Surgical offers genetic testing to help you decide if preventive breast cancer surgery makes the right choice for you. 

 

Gynecomastia surgery

The team also performs gynecomastia surgery, removing excess breast tissue in men and reshaping the area for a more contoured appearance.

The team does a thorough evaluation and customizes your surgical plan based on your needs. They discuss the details of your surgery at your pre-surgical evaluation so you know what to expect.

What happens during breast surgery?

The specifics of your breast surgery depend on the type of surgery you need. Some procedures take an hour, while others take several hours.

The surgeons at Sierra Pacific Surgical perform breast surgery at an accredited surgical center. 

What can I expect during recovery from breast surgery?

Recovery following breast surgery varies based on the type of procedure performed. You can expect some soreness, swelling, bruising, and other symptoms. The Sierra Pacific Surgical team gives you specific at-home care instructions to support the healing process.

They also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor healing and adjust your plan as needed.
