Mastectomy (breast removal) at Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew's Hospital

Is a mastectomy right for me?

Women at risk of developing breast cancer may also choose to undergo a mastectomy.

What happens during a mastectomy?

During a consultation, our consultants will discuss your treatment options and recommend the most effective and less invasive procedure possible for your condition. To enhance your time spent in hospital and patient experience, all of our consultants are fully supported by our specialist breast care nurse and attentive matron-led nursing team. Our nursing staff pride themselves on providing unrivalled comfort and first-class care.

Recovery from mastectomy
