What Can I Expect with Breast Cancer Surgery?
Before breast cancer surgery, all patients will do a pre-op consultation at Mountain West Surgical Specialists. Breast cancer surgeries may be conducted on an inpatient or outpatient basis, depending on individualized surgical and health needs. Directly following surgery, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and numbness at the incision site. The recovery timeframe varies according to the type of breast cancer procedure performed. All patients are monitored closely post-surgery for signs of infection and wound-healing complications.
What Are the Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a significant health concern that can manifest through various symptoms. Recognizing these signs early is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Here are some common symptoms to watch for:
- A lump or thickening of the breast tissue
- Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of a breast
- Changes in the skin or nipple of the breasts, such as scaling, redness, flaking, or dimpling
- Abnormal discharge from the nipples
Mountain West Surgical Specialists Reviews
Dr Kaan is the best. He clearly and patiently answered all my questions and what my diagnoses was.
I recently underwent a recent colonoscopy with Dr. Gates. The entire process from the referral, consult, pre-procedure and afterwards was great. Everyone was very nice and really good at what they do. Thank you!
Dr. Gates is an excellent doctor. He took the time to explain his thoughts, listened to me and my concerns, and clearly cared about my health and well being.
Kind and friendly. Great at communicating with patient. Answered all questions. Took his time.
Dr. Kaan listened to my husband & myself, answered all our questions, explained everything including pro's & con's. He is a caring & compassionate man/physician. I highly recommend him.
