The doctor will also discuss the treatment plan for Mastectomy, alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the possible risks as well as complications to educate and help the patient make the decision. They provide a comprehensive evaluation report and discuss the treatment in-depth with the patient during their consultation. For internation patients, they offer teleconsultation services to educate them about their condition and treatment options. These consultations help the patients and their families understand the treatment better and provide them a chance to ask questions or clear their doubts. The doctors are involved in the entire treatment process, from the pre-treatment phase to post-treatment care.

Once the patient is ready for the treatment, the Mastectomy surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Mastectomy and set up a convenient date for the procedure with the patient’s approval. The team will provide the patient a few instructions and guidelines for the pre-treatment phase. Also, the Mastectomy hospital initiates the formalities and ensures the hospital stay is comfortable.
