Is subareolar abscesses surgery a major surgery. ? how long you have to stay in the hospital? complications after surgery? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the size: Usually these abscesses are fairly superficial and can be drained as minor surgery ; however, if deep and widespread, may require a larger incision. Healing time would be about 7-10 days.
