A member asked:
Can you tell me what to expect when having a mastectomy?

Surprise at wellness: Most women i operate on are surprised at how well they do after a simple mastectomy. In fact I am often asked why it is not an outpatient procedure. More discomfort is associated when you add complete axillary dissection or immediate reconstruction.
