Surgery for Benign Breast Problems

The aim of surgery when it is required for benign (non-cancerous) breast problems is to treat the condition with as little effect on the breast as possible. This means minimising scarring and minimising the extent of surgery to no more than is necessary. In may situations surgery can be offered under local anaesthetic or a very short day case general anaesthetic.
