It's primarily to remove cancer from your breast—whether it's a lump or the entire breast in advanced cases. When tests confirm cancer, surgery is often the first line of treatment to prevent it from spreading and improve your chances of survival. Your oncologist will recommend the most appropriate surgical approach based on the size, stage, and location of your cancer.
Scans and tests identify the exact location and extent of the cancer.
General anesthesia puts you to sleep or local anesthesia numbs the surgical area.
Surgeons remove the tumor (lumpectomy) or the entire breast (mastectomy), and sometimes lymph nodes.
The incision is closed with stitches, followed by a recovery period in the hospital.
The entire procedure typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the type of surgery. Your surgeon will explain the specific details of your procedure during consultation.
Breast cancer surgery is generally safe when performed by qualified surgeons, but like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks:
Infection at the incision site
Bleeding or hematoma
Lymphedema (arm swelling)
Temporary nerve pain or numbness
Less than 2% of patients experience serious complications. At SB Medical Travels, we partner with top-rated hospitals and surgeons to minimize these risks and ensure the best possible outcomes.
Proper preparation can help ensure a smooth surgery and recovery:
Fast for 6-8 hours before surgery if you're receiving general anesthesia
Discuss your medications with your doctor; some may need to be paused
Pack comfortable, button-front clothing for your hospital stay
Arrange for someone to accompany you and drive you home after surgery
Our team at SB Medical Travels will provide you with a comprehensive pre-surgery checklist and guide you through each step of preparation.
0-2 days depending on the procedure. Lumpectomy is often outpatient, while mastectomy may require 1-2 nights.
Rest is essential. Limited arm movement on the affected side. Pain management with prescribed medications.
Gradual return to light activities. Begin gentle exercises as recommended by your doctor.
Most patients can resume normal activities. Full recovery with improved mobility and comfort.
Our team will help coordinate your recovery plan, including follow-up appointments and rehabilitation services if needed.
Pain management is an important part of your surgical experience:
You won't feel any pain during the procedure as you'll be under anesthesia. The surgical team monitors you closely throughout.
You'll likely experience soreness and discomfort at the incision site. Pain medication will be provided to keep you comfortable.
Pain typically decreases significantly within a few days. Most patients transition to over-the-counter pain relievers within a week.
Some patients experience occasional twinges or numbness that may persist. Physical therapy can help manage these sensations.
Our partner hospitals prioritize effective pain management, and our team will ensure you have the support needed for a comfortable recovery.
