A lumpectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a breast lump.
You may be advised to have a lumpectomy when you have been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. This procedure is considered breast-conserving surgery as only the cancer and a margin of healthy tissue is removed, preserving as much of the breast as possible.
A breast biopsy is often performed to identify the nature of a breast lump that may or may not be cancer.
Many breast lumps are benign, but if a mammogram suggests that your lump needs further investigation, a breast biopsy is usually recommended.
Analysis of the breast tissue may result in a cancer diagnosis.
Your surgeon will make an incision in the skin of the breast in the region of the lump. They may use ultrasound and an injection of blue dye to help them locate the lump precisely.
The lump will be removed along with a margin of healthy tissue for analysis.
The team performs breast surgery for lump removal under general anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia may be infused into the wound to give lasting pain relief, and then the wound will be closed with sutures.
Complete recovery after lumpectomy and return to normal activities may take a few weeks.
After your procedure, you will spend some time in the recovery room and then a night in the hospital, where your progress will be monitored carefully.
Your breast area will be bruised, swollen and tender after your breast procedure, but these effects will subside over the next few days. Other common complications, such as fluid collecting around the wound, may occur and will be addressed promptly and effectively by the team. All surgeries carry the risk of infection, and the team will assess you for any signs of inflammation.
You will need to rest, but gentle exercise, like walking, is also beneficial.
You may be able to return to work a week after your operation, depending on the physical demands of your role.
The progress of your healing will be monitored by your consultant at follow-up appointments.
After a few weeks, you may be ready to resume more vigorous activity, including going to the gym, but it is important to follow your specialist breast team’s guidance, as excessive activity can affect healing.
If the analysis of your breast tissue results in a breast cancer diagnosis, then you will need more treatment.
Our multi-disciplinary team will devise an effective treatment programme for you, using research-driven approaches to deliver the best possible results.
All treatment options will be discussed with you, and you will be a full partner in your journey back to health.
It is not possible to provide an indicative cost for your lumpectomy surgery or any further treatment you may need, as each woman’s treatment requirements differ.
The cost of your procedure will be fully discussed at your pre-operative consultation, and most of our patients are covered by medical insurance.
In addition to procedures like breast biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery for women affected by breast cancer, we also offer cosmetic breast surgery procedures. These include breast reduction and breast augmentation.
You can find details of our full range of procedures on our website.

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.
