How many days of recovery of a core needle breast biopsy( 3 different spots will be biopsed).dr said i'll have 3 scars.when could i go to the beach?

Few days: Due to tech issues how a needle approaches a location, 3 stbx's will likely have 3 puncture sites. Under u/s, one might be able to approach 2 or more sites through 1 puncture site. Regardless, recovery should be only a few days generally requiring no more than otc meds. Wearing a snug supportive bra will feel best. Limits are minimal. A wd will h20 seal in 48 hrs but submerging is longer ~1wk.

Post Biopsy scarring: Scarring you can expect depends on several factors. Larger biposies may heal with a larger blemish. Some patients form "keloids" that leave dark ridges, but this condition is not common, especially among lighter skinned patients. Healing wounds exposed to sunlight can darken into permanent scars, so shield them from the sun for several months. Sunscreen can help afterward (always good).

The scars will: be tiny and may fade over time. You may be sore for a couple of days, possibly up to a week or so. Mild bleeding or oozing usually gone within 24 hours.
