What kind of doctor should i see if i think i need complex breast surgery?

Complex?: It depends on what way you mean "complex." complex surgeries may result in need for un/planned hospitalization and for this reason, a board certified plastic surgeon will be best since they will have admitting privileges. I would recommend seeing multiple pre- and post-operative photos. Also be aware, that no matter what doctor you see, revision rates for such a procedure will be around 20%.

Depends: If you are needing reconstructive or cosmetic surgery, then you should see a plastic surgeon. If it concerns breast cancer, then you should see a general surgeon.

Breast surgery: Breast surgeons and plastic surgeons perform the most procedures on the breast. Complex surgery of the breast is usually handled in a team approach for can. For purely cosmetic surgery involving a reduction or augmentation with or without a lift is handled by a plastic surgeon.

Depends.: Depending on what type of “complex breast surgery” is necessary, either a general and/or plastic surgeon may be helpful. Either way, choose your surgeon carefully; sometimes it is very helpful to see lots of examples of his/her work helping patients in your situation. Best wishes.

a good start: Any surgery can be considered complex. General breast surgeons typically take care of breast conditions such as infections and tumors whereas plastic surgeons typically take care of cosmetic concerns such as breast enlargement/reduction but also reconstruction. Your primary physician is a good start to recommend the appropriate specialist for you.
