FAQs

Does breast surgery cause scarring?

Yes, although the scars are small and usually fade and smooth out over time. Our surgeons try to minimize scar visibility by making the incisions in places that can be hidden.

How long does it take to recover from breast surgery?

You'll start to feel better in weeks to months, depending on the procedure you had. Since everyone's recovery differs, listening to your doctor and following their recommendations is essential.

How soon can I return to work after breast surgery?

If you don't have to lift or have a physically demanding job, you may be able to return one week after surgery. If you carry heavy objects, you will likely have to wait two weeks before returning to avoid swelling.

How much does breast surgery cost?

Depending on the type of surgery, your insurance may cover the procedure. Most group health insurance plans must cover breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy. Still, checking with your insurance company before proceeding with any procedure is best. We can provide a price estimate.
