Breast Surgery

At TidalHealth, our team works closely with your physician to provide breast surgery with a focus on your comfort and well-being. We understand that surgery can be stressful, so our caring staff strives to make your experience as personal and pleasant as possible. Expect warmth, smiles, and support every step of the way.

We offer a variety of breast surgery treatments, including minimally invasive options when possible. These advanced techniques often involve smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker recovery, helping you return to daily life faster. Our surgeons use the latest technology, including robotic and laparoscopic approaches, to deliver quality care tailored to your needs.

Your safety and peace of mind are important to us. Before surgery, your physician will walk you through what to expect and answer any questions you have. Our caring team will also review your health history, medications, and any special concerns. If you need assistance preparing for surgery, don't hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help and want you to feel comfortable throughout the process.

After surgery, we continue to support you with attentive care and clear recovery instructions. Our team is committed to your healing, comfort, and overall well-being. You are never just a number to us.

Most people have questions about their breast surgery, from what to expect to how to prepare. While your surgeon at TidalHealth is always your best resource, here are some answers to common questions our patients ask.

How will I prepare for breast surgery?
Your physician will discuss all aspects of your surgery and explain the risks, benefits, and alternatives. You will complete a pre-anesthesia questionnaire, which one of our nurses will review with you a few days before your surgery. Please inform us of any health issues or medications, including over-the-counter or herbal remedies, to ensure safe care.

What happens on the day of my surgery?
Upon arrival, our staff will help you get settled and ready. We will ask about your health and start an IV for medications and fluids. You will meet with your surgeon and anesthesia team to review any concerns or questions. A family member or close friend can wait with you, and we will do everything possible to make you comfortable before your surgery begins.

What kind of recovery can I expect after surgery?
After surgery, you will be monitored by our care team until you’re ready to go home. We will check your comfort and pain levels, provide pain relief as needed, and review instructions for your care at home. You will receive clear directions on medications, activity, and ways to make your recovery as comfortable as possible.

Who do I contact if I have questions before my surgery?
If you have any questions or concerns before your surgery, please feel free to reach out to your surgeon or the TidalHealth care team. We are here to support you every step of the way.
