Mastectomy
Patients with signs of premalignant breast disease, a family history of breast cancer, or those who have had cancer in the opposite breast may consider a subcutaneous mastectomy. The procedure can typically be performed to remove the majority of the breast tissue while preserving the skin and nipple. Subcutaneous mastectomies are usually followed with reconstruction using breast implants or flap reconstruction techniques. During your private consultation with Dr. Fenner, he will discuss the specifics of the procedure and help you determine if it’s in your best interest.
