Hi doctors, was just wondering what is a bi-lateral mastectomy?

Surgery: Removal of both breasts in male or female. Simple is breast tissue. Radical is more surgery with muscle and more nodes. Usually done for malignancy.

Surgical removal of: both right and left breasts. If it is done for invasive cancer, it is usually accompanied by a lymph node dissection, and it would be called a modified radical mastectomy. On a male patient, it should not cause a significant defect.
