About the specialty
What Is Breast Surgery?
Breast surgery involves procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting breast tissue, from benign lumps and other non-cancerous conditions to breast cancer.
Diagnostic Procedures
Breast biopsies can provide tissue for laboratory examination when a lump or other breast abnormality requires further evaluation.
Benign Breast Surgery
Selected non cancerous breast conditions may require surgical removal when they cause symptoms, grow, or need definitive diagnosis.
Breast Cancer Surgery
Surgical treatment for breast cancer may involve removing the tumor or affected breast tissue, with the procedure determined by the type and extent of disease.
When to seek assessment
Breast Changes That Need Attention
Many breast changes are benign, but new or persistent changes should be assessed to determine their cause.
Breast Lump
A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm may require clinical assessment.
Nipple Changes
New nipple inversion, discharge, or changes in appearance should be evaluated.
Skin Changes
Persistent dimpling, redness, thickening, or changes in the breast skin may require further assessment.
Breast Asymmetry
A new or noticeable change in the size or shape of one breast should be medically evaluated.
Conditions
Breast Conditions & Surgical Treatment

Breast Lumps

Common findings
Benign Breast Disease
Benign breast conditions include several non cancerous changes that may cause lumps, pain, or other breast symptoms. Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis and severity.
Common findings
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer develops when abnormal breast cells grow uncontrollably and may spread to other parts of the body. Surgery can be an important part of treatment, depending on the type and stage of the cancer.

Common questions
Before you book.
Are most breast lumps cancerous?
No, the majority of breast lumps turn out to be non-cancerous. Still, any new lump should be evaluated to confirm what it is and rule out anything serious.
Is a breast biopsy painful?
Most biopsies are done under local anesthesia and cause only mild, brief discomfort. Your surgeon will walk you through what to expect based on the specific type of biopsy needed.
How is the type of breast cancer surgery decided?
The approach depends on factors like the tumor’s size, location, and stage, along with the patient’s overall treatment plan. This is discussed in detail during consultation so the decision fits the individual case.
