What to Expect with Any Surgery

“Breast cancer surgery is not the radically deforming surgery that you may have seen in your grandmother's day. We do skin-sparing incisions, we try to make the incisions low enough that you can wear anything you want, we're not taking muscle out. You don't end up with a concave area where the ribs are showing and the scars run to the collarbone. It's a different era. I think the sooner you get back to seeing what your scar looks like the better off you are. I like to take a look at a patient's scar early in the healing process, to let her know that I think it looks okay. ”
