Stay & travel
From inquiry to your 12-month review
Most patients fly home on day 3 or 4. Office work with a hat is fine after day 10; client-facing work most patients delay until day 14. Final result settles between months 9 and 12.
Diagnosis and planning
Imaging, biopsy and a discussion of surgical and reconstruction options take place.
Pre-operative assessment
Blood tests, anaesthetic review and consent are completed.
Surgery day
Breast tissue is removed under general anaesthesia, sometimes with lymph node sampling.
Hospital recovery
Drains, pain control and wound care are managed over one to a few days.
Pathology review
Examination of the removed tissue guides any further treatment.
Follow-up
Wound checks, drain removal and rehabilitation are arranged over the following weeks.
The questions you'd ask a friend who'd already done it
Can I have reconstruction?
Reconstruction is often possible, either at the same time as the mastectomy or as a separate later procedure.
Will I need treatment after surgery?
This depends on the pathology; some people need radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormone therapy afterwards.
How long until I recover?
Most people return to light activity within a few weeks, with full recovery taking longer if reconstruction is done.
