What is Mastectomy?

Mastectomy is a medical procedure performed by qualified surgeons. Speak with a verified specialist on SurgeonNear to get a complete assessment of your condition and the best treatment plan.

Symptoms of Mastectomy

Common signs that you may need Mastectomy include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.

How is Mastectomy Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Mastectomy.

Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical

Depending on severity, doctors may first recommend non-surgical approaches such as medication or physiotherapy. If these are not effective, Mastectomy is advised.

How is Mastectomy Performed?

Mastectomy is typically performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon may use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open techniques depending on the case. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks after Mastectomy. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions including diet, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.

Mastectomy Cost — What Affects the Price?

The cost of Mastectomy varies based on the hospital, city, surgeon experience, and whether the procedure is laparoscopic or open. SurgeonNear shows transparent pricing so you can compare before booking.
