A woman’s breasts are a symbol of feminine beauty. But unfortunately, the health of the breast or any physical changes to it are met with embarrassment and kept a secret. This is in fact a dangerous practice because not discussing breast health issues or getting them scanned through a doctor on time can lead to serious health issues for the woman.

Many young women and pre-menopausal women develop a lump in their breast. This lump is called Fibroadenoma. The term fibroadenoma combines the words “fibroma,” meaning a tumour made up of fibrous tissue, and “adenoma,” a tumour of gland tissue.

This lump is round or oval in shape and usually painless by nature but maybe associated with mild pain. Usually, a Breast Fibroadenoma is non-cancerous and in rare cases, it turns out to be benign cancer. The first thing that Dr Harish Ghildiyal tells his patients is to remove the fear of cancer from their mind. According to research 8 out of 10 cases of Breast Fibroadenoma are resolved by a simple Breast Swelling Excision procedure.

Breast swelling excision surgery is also referred to as Lumpectomy or Breast Lump Removal Surgery by doctors. This is a surgery where the doctor removes the tumorous growth known as Breast Fibroadenoma from the patient’s breast.

According to Dr Harish Ghildiyal, Dehradun Board-certified Plastic Surgeon, this procedure is straightforward and may involve removing some tissue from around the lump region too.

Breast Swelling Excision Surgery is performed at Celebre Aesthetics, Surat.

The symptoms of Breast Fibroadenoma are easy to detect. The woman will feel a lump in her breast. Very rarely the shape of the breast may be slightly altered due to the lump.

Typically a lump is 2.5 cm in diameters but may be as large as 5 cm in diameters. Early detection and treatments are the only way to fight Breast Fibroadenoma.

The lump is usually painless and may not even be sensitive to touch.

As a woman, if you are experiencing these symptoms then Dr Harish Ghildiyal strongly advises you to see a doctor at the earliest

When you come in for an appointment with Dr Harish Ghildiyal, the Board-certified Plastic, Cosmetic Surgeon of Celebre Aesthetics, Dehradun he will conduct a physical examination. Dr Harish Ghildiyal will discuss the issues you are facing and will ask you questions about your general health.

Dr Harish Ghildiyal will note down your entire medical history in your case file for the Clinic’s records. He will take a look at your Imaging Test Reports which include mammogram and ultrasound. Dr Harish Ghildiyal will explain the Breast Swelling Excision procedure to you and clear any doubts you may have about the process.

The consultation will end with the scheduling of the surgery and prescribing clear cut instructions to the patient about what to do in the days following up to the surgery.

There is no special preparation required for the patient before a Breast Lump Removal Surgery. You may be asked to discontinue some medicines by Dr Harish Ghildiyal, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon of Celebre Aesthetics, Surat.

You will be asked to undergo a routine blood test before the surgery to establish parameters for giving you the right dosage of anaesthesia.

Dr Harish Ghildiyal also advises patients to keep a positive frame of mind in the days leading up to the surgery.

The recovery from Breast Swelling Excision surgery needs rest for 1-2 days. Dr Harish Ghildiyal will prescribe medicines to manage the pain and accelerate the recovery. Sometimes a drainage tube may be placed to remove excess fluids from the body safely.

Depending on the results of the biopsy your future course of action is determined. In case the biopsy shows “no cancerous growth” then you won’t be undergoing any further treatment.
