If you have mild health issues like hypertension or a family history of breast cancer, don’t worry breast surgery can still be done safely with proper preparation. Before surgery, you’ll undergo routine tests like blood work, ECG, and imaging to ensure everything is under control.

Your surgical and anesthetic teams will coordinate with your physician to manage any existing conditions, making the entire process as safe and smooth as possible.
