I completely understand your concern about undergoing breast surgery. It’s natural to feel anxious. When a benign lump is detected, the goal of surgery is to remove it safely while preserving your breast’s natural shape and appearance.

The most common approach is a lumpectomy or excisional biopsy, where only the lump and a small rim of healthy tissue are removed.

Skilled surgeons use delicate techniques to minimize scarring and maintain symmetry, ensuring that your breast looks and feels as natural as possible after healing.
