A member asked:
Breastsx- would you remove a benign breast mass that was larger than a golf ball under local anesthesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: It's possible. Make sure your surgeon is a board certified general surgeon with extensive experience in breast surgery. A biopsy should have been already done and show benign disease.
