A member asked:
How big will incision be on breast. and how much will be removed. i am having a partial masectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Why are you having a partial mastectomy? If it is for a benign issue, the incision may be at the margin of the areola and may not be obvious when fully healed. It would be prudent to discuss it with the surgeon, before the surgery.
