What is a simple mastectomy?

In a simple mastectomy, the breast tissue, nipple and areola are removed. Unlike a radical mastectomy, the chest muscles are left in place and the lymph nodes under the arm are not removed as part of the operation.

The decision to have a mastectomy is a big one and is usually made together with your other doctors, based on your diagnosis, imaging, pathology and personal preferences.

When a simple mastectomy may be recommended

  • Breast cancer, including some cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
  • When breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) is not a good option
  • Risk reduction for people at high genetic or family risk
  • Recurrence after earlier treatment

What to expect

Surgery is done under general anesthesia. Dr. P will go over the plan in detail at your consultation, including what your pathology results mean and whether any additional procedures, such as lymph node evaluation or reconstruction with another specialist, should be considered.

Recovery

Many patients go home the same day or after a short stay. A drain may be placed for a short time. Most people return to light activity within a couple of weeks, with fuller recovery over several weeks. Dr. P will guide you through each step.

What the $6,000 includes

  • Surgeon fee for Dr. Rajesh S. Padmanabhan, MD, FACS, board-certified general surgeon
  • Facility fee
  • Anesthesia
  • Pathology
