What is a mastectomy?

A mastectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the breast tissue from the chest area as part of the treatment for cancer.

Sometimes the nipple may be removed at the same time, but our aesthetic surgeons will tailor your breast surgery to your individual requirements.

Private Mastectomy Nottingham

Why has a mastectomy been recommended as part of my breast cancer treatment?

A mastectomy is advised for women whose cancer cannot be treated by a lumpectomy alone.

Your GP may refer you after a cancer diagnosis elsewhere, or you can contact us directly to arrange an appointment.

What will happen during my private mastectomy near Nottingham?

Your private mastectomy will be performed under general anaesthetic.

Your breast surgeon will make an incision to allow the removal of the breast tissue. 

It may also be necessary to remove lymph nodes from under the arm if your cancer has spread from its original site in the breast.

What is the recovery process after this procedure?

Full recovery from mastectomy surgery usually takes up to six weeks, but may take longer if the procedure has been complicated or if breast reconstruction has been performed at the same time.

Complications and risks associated with mastectomy

As with all surgical procedures, you should anticipate bruising and swelling. 

All surgery carries risks of complications, such as infection, but the post-surgical care we provide will ensure a smooth recovery.

The full range of mastectomy procedures for Nottingham patients

We provide a tailored approach to your breast surgery, combining therapeutic and aesthetic considerations to deliver the best possible results for our Nottingham patients.

Your consultant may discuss the following options with you if appropriate:

Skin-sparing mastectomy

This is a type of procedure that preserves the breast skin and is ideal for patients who plan to have an immediate breast reconstruction.

Skin-reducing mastectomy

Patients with larger breasts sometimes have loose skin removed during their surgery, as they are planning to have reconstructive surgery to create smaller breasts.

Nipple sparing mastectomy

When possible, the nipple and areola will be retained to preserve the appearance of the breasts.

Support during your breast cancer journey

We understand that your physical recovery is only part of the process of reclaiming your normal life after treatments for breast cancer.

The psychological impact of treatment can be profound, and our team will provide you with all the emotional support and advice you require after diagnosis and during your breast cancer journey.

Reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomy

Our plastic reconstructive and oncoplastic breast surgery specialists offer two techniques to restore the appearance of the breasts after surgery.

Reconstructive surgery with breast implants

The insertion of a high-quality implant will restore volume and shape to the breast area.

Breast reconstruction with autologous flaps

This technique uses your own tissue and fat removed by liposuction from donor sites elsewhere on the body to restore the appearance of the breasts.

Breast reconstruction can provide significant benefits for patients, boosting self-confidence and helping them feel like themselves again.

Your breast surgery will be performed by a highly experienced reconstructive surgeon at the same time as your mastectomy or after all your treatment has been completed.

Are all treatments private?

Yes. We are not an NHS clinic. 

Most women are covered by health insurance, but if you are paying yourself, you may be interested in our financing options.

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.

Written by a patient at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, 30th September 2019

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.
