Among our doctors for your Mastectomy

Mastectomy: what is it?

A mastectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both breasts, usually for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer. It may be recommended for patients with early- or advanced-stage breast cancer or for those at high genetic risk. This life-saving surgery is often followed by breast reconstruction or additional therapies.

 Understanding what a mastectomy can help patients make informed decisions about their treatment options for breast cancer.

Begin your mastectomy journey with expert care in Turkey, and receive a personalized treatment plan with Turquie Santé.

Types of mastectomy in Istanbul, Turkey

Several mastectomy techniques are available in Istanbul. The choice of the most appropriate technique depends on the size and location of the tumor and the general health of the patient:

Technique

Description

Total mastectomy

  • Complete removal of the breast, including the mammary gland, areola, and nipple.

  • The axillary lymph nodes and pectoral muscles are not affected.

Partial mastectomy

  • Breast-conserving procedure in which part of the breast, but not the entire breast, is removed.

  • Suitable for small, localized tumors.

  • Healthy tissue may be removed along with the tumor to ensure complete removal.

Subcutaneous mastectomy

  • All breast tissue is removed, but skin and nipple are preserved.

  • Suitable for women who want immediate breast reconstruction with an implant.

  • Not suitable for large tumors or tumors close to the skin surface.

Radical mastectomy

  • Most invasive procedure.

  • Removal of the breast, surrounding skin, axillary lymph nodes, and pectoral muscles.

Peculiarities of breast removal in Turkey

In Turkey, a mastectomy may be recommended in specific medical situations, such as:

Once a tumor is diagnosed, timely surgery is essential to reduce the risk of the cancer spreading to other parts of the body.

Mastectomy in Turkey can also be performed as a preventive measure. This applies to women who may not currently have breast cancer but face a high genetic or familial risk of developing it in the future.

For women who are not at high risk, mastectomy is generally not recommended, and other less invasive treatments may be advised instead

Mastectomy in Turkey: Cutting-edge techniques for patients

Turkey is at the forefront of advanced mastectomy techniques, offering patients safer surgeries with minimal scarring and faster recovery times. Options such as nipple-sparing mastectomy, skin-sparing procedures, and immediate breast reconstruction are widely available at leading Turkish hospitals.

Through Turquie Santé, international patients gain access to experienced surgeons and to the latest surgical technologies in Istanbul, ensuring personalized care and optimal results.

Mastectomy procedure: step-by-step:

Before undergoing a mastectomy, it's important to understand the entire procedure, from preparation to recovery.

Medical evaluation

The journey begins with a comprehensive medical assessment. This includes imaging tests such as mammograms or MRIs to clearly define the extent of the tumor. Your surgeon will also review your medical history and discuss the surgical approaches best suited to your condition.

Preoperative preparation

Before surgery, patients undergo:
Routine blood tests and other health checks.

 Surgery day

A mastectomy is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the type of mastectomy required, the procedure usually lasts between one and three hours. The goal is always to combine safety with optimal oncological and aesthetic outcomes.

 Recovery and follow-up

After the operation, patients are closely monitored during hospitalization. Once discharged, you'll receive detailed instructions for:
Pain management

Results of the operation

Recent advances in surgical techniques in Turkey have made mastectomy an increasingly effective treatment option for breast cancer. The scars are now inconspicuous, the risks associated with the procedure are under control, and postoperative recovery is rapid.

However, the success of mastectomy also depends on the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis. Early diagnosis greatly increases the chances of cure, even for aggressive cancers. Conversely, breast cancer detected at an advanced stage may have a less favorable prognosis, even with a perfectly performed mastectomy.

Let Turquie santé guide you, because we understand how personal and emotional the mastectomy journey can be. Our team will connect you with trusted hospitals in Istanbul, and our expert surgeons will provide support from consultation to recovery.
