A member asked:
For how long do you think a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery should take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Are you looking for a surgical time, or are you looking for a time from start to finish? There are multiple reconstructive alternatives which take anywhere from 1 hour additional to 10 hours additional in the operating room. Usually the entire procedure can take upwards of 1 year to fully heal and sometimes longer.
