Contact us today to book a consultation with one of our surgeons about breast lump removal.

Finding a breast lump yourself or through breast screening is alarming, and waiting for results can cause significant anxiety for many women.
At Birmingham Breast Group, our breast services for Wolverhampton patients include the most advanced diagnostic and surgical technology, ensuring that our patients receive a detailed assessment, diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan quickly.
We offer breast services that include lumpectomy, a surgical procedure to remove a tumour and a margin of healthy breast tissue.
Our breast surgeons understand that a good cosmetic result is essential for self-confidence, and they work hard to restore breast shape and function as much as possible while removing all affected breast tissue.
Your surgeon will make an incision in the skin close to the lump. The entire lump will be removed using precise surgical techniques. A small amount of surrounding breast tissue will also be removed for analysis to check that the cancer has not spread.
Lumpectomies are performed using a general anaesthetic. The procedure will take between sixty and ninety minutes, depending on the complexity required.
The expertise of the medical team at Birmingham Breast Group will ensure that you receive the best treatment available for your type and grade of breast cancer.
Every case is unique, but a typical candidate for lumpectomy would be a woman with early-stage breast cancer. The breast lump would be small, and the tumour would be localised in the breast. You may have found the lump yourself, or it may have been detected during routine breast screening.
We believe it is essential for you to be fully informed and involved in decision-making regarding your treatment. We will discuss all appropriate treatment plans with you in detail.
Why not contact us to book an appointment today to see how we can help?
The lump and other breast tissue removed during surgery will be examined, and other tests may be required before a treatment plan can be designed for you.
Your post-lumpectomy treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and will be the result of a comprehensive assessment by our multidisciplinary team.
Birmingham Breast Group is a one-stop breast clinic with specialists in radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and chemotherapy for breast cancer. The team will work together to give you cutting-edge treatments throughout your cancer journey.

When your procedure is finished, you will be taken to the recovery room where you will be closely monitored and pain relief supplied to make sure you are comfortable.
You will leave the hospital as soon as your surgeon is happy that you are stable. Patients return for follow-up appointments to check on the healing of the incision.
We advise Wolverhampton patients to take it easy for between 1 and 3 weeks before returning to work and resuming their usual activities.
Our cutting-edge clinics near Wolverhampton provide a comprehensive range of breast cancer services.
These include tests for the diagnosis of breast cancer, including a mammogram and fine needle aspiration of breast lumps.
Other breast surgery procedures include a range of biopsies, mastectomy procedures, and breast reconstruction with fat grafting or a breast implant.
Breast lumps are not the only indicators of breast cancer.
Other breast symptoms like breast pain, puckering of the skin, a rash or discharge from the nipple also require checking by a doctor.
If you have any concerns, you can book a consultation with one of our specialists.
We have four clinics in Birmingham, all offering the same compassionate care and medical expertise.

Mr Henderson was kind and understanding and I felt completely at ease with him. He was well informed of my condition and explained his treatment plan to me fully. He has been very attentive in answering emails from me and I really cannot recommend him highly enough. I feel very fortunate to have been in his care.

I have been a patient of Dr Basu since being diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Despite the curse of my diagnosis I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr and standard of care. He and his team are super-efficient, have gone out of their way to get fast effective treatment for me and he has super-human levels of patience. During every consultation he has been ever patient, carefully listened to all my questions and concerns then taken the time to explain everything to me and provided constant reassurance. He has been accessible at all times even over weekends and the support has been broad. He looks after you as if you are family and despite having a 90 minute journey to see him at times as we wanted the fastest appointment we couldn’t ask for anything more. Our family see him as an angel not just a doctor for what he has done for us and would recommend him in less than a blink of a eye.

I first met Naren Basu in 2016 at the Queen Elizabeth Women’s Hospital. I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an exceptionally skilled man at putting people at their ease and explaining everything with great patience and candour. He is a consummate professional and really knows his stuff, especially relating to breast cancer. He is very clever, witty, and a super surgeon. He carried out a reduction to both my breasts, removing the tumours at the same time. I was fortunate indeed to have my surgery via the NHS, it would have been very expensive as a private patient but worth every penny. I felt like a million dollars after my operation. I think he is a fabulous man and so skilled on so many levels and outstanding in human kindness.

Nine days before I was due to go on an extended holiday I discovered problems in both breasts. I was lucky enough to get an appointment 3 days before travel. Mr Basu even called me on the day of the appointment to ask me to come in earlier to ensure they had time to undergo all of the tests that evening. Anyone who has had these problems will know how overwhelming it is but Mr Basu took his time to speak to me and explained all of the procedures/tests that would be carried out that evening and possible outcomes. I did have a small procedure and again everything was explained fully and felt quite safe in his hands. The follow up appointments were just as thorough and Mr Basu made sure I understood all that we discussed. If I ever found myself in this position again Mr Basu would be my first port of call.

I am currently under the care of Dr Daniel Henderson at Good Hope Hospital, and I couldn’t ask for better. He listens, and speaks to you in laymans terms so you understand what is going on now and in the future. He talks to you and not at you, and has a very calm and soothing manner. If you are lucky enough to be referred to him, rest assured that you are in good hands, as he gets things actioned quickly.
