I’ve read that some breast surgeries are done using minimally invasive techniques. Are these methods safer, and do they result in less scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery?

Minimally invasive techniques are also available and can make a big difference in comfort and recovery. These use tiny incisions and specialized instruments to remove the lump with minimal disruption.

They are safe, effective, and offer faster healing and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. Not everyone is a candidate, though it depends on the lump’s size and location, which your surgeon will assess before recommending the best approach.
