Breast Surgery is a common procedure in both men and women and our surgeons are often called upon to treat both benign and malignant conditions of the breasts. While candidates for breast surgery can arrive at our office with various complaints, including:
Our patients can trust that all conditions will be both evaluated and treated.
Many times patients are pleased to find that several of these issues can be seen and dealt with in the office during regular appointments. However, there are certain cases that require surgical procedures. If a case does require a procedure, technology has progressed to the point where biopsies can be done in an outpatient setting with minimal anesthesia.
Most biopsies performed by our team are sent straight to pathology and a diagnosis is usually reached by the following day.
If you experience these symptoms, especially if you’re breastfeeding, it’s essential to contact a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and treatment.
