Dr. Herbert Hoover answered

Should be minimal: Unless the benign breast lump is very large or the breast is very small, proper removal of a benign lump usually causes little deformity. In my experience, removing lesions from the upper, inner quadrant of the breast is more prone to some deformity but it should be minimal if performed by an experienced breast surgeon.

A member asked:

I have 5 lumps in my breast that are not painful. I've seen a few doctors who have said they aren't cancerous and removal may be unnecessary. Should I still go for yearly checkups just in case?
