Fibroadenoma Excision

Fibroadenoma Excision – Healthy choice, Confident you.

If you’ve discovered a painless, movable lump in your breast—chances are, it could be a fibroadenoma. These non-cancerous tumors are common, especially in young women between the ages of 15 and 35. But even when benign, the discomfort, anxiety, and cosmetic concerns they bring are real.

According to recent data published in the Indian Journal of Breast Health, fibroadenomas account for 30% of all breast lumps in Indian women under 30. With rising awareness, more women are now choosing safe, aesthetic surgical options for removal rather than “watch and wait.”

At Jewel Aesthetic Centre, Dr. Devayani Barve offers refined, minimal-scar fibroadenoma excision techniques that prioritize both health and aesthetics. Whether it’s for peace of mind, pain relief, or cosmetic correction, you’re in expert hands.

What Is a Fibroadenoma and Should You Be Worried?

A fibroadenoma is a benign breast tumor made up of glandular and fibrous tissue. It often feels rubbery and is mobile under the skin. While not cancerous, it can grow in size or become uncomfortable, especially with hormonal fluctuations.

When Is Fibroadenoma Removal Recommended?

During fetal development, breast tissue forms along a line called the “milk line,” extending from the armpits to the groin. Normally, most of this tissue regresses—but in some individuals, residual tissue remains in the armpits, leading to axillary breast formation.

Doctors often suggest surgical removal if:

The lump is growing in size
It causes pain or discomfort
There’s uncertainty about diagnosis even after imaging
The patient is anxious or prefers removal for cosmetic reasons

Minimally Invasive Techniques Are Changing the Game

Today, advanced excision methods use smaller incisions and specialized instruments to remove lumps with minimal scarring. Minimally invasive fibroadenoma excision Mumbai patients often return to routine activities within days.

Why Appearance Matters Too

A noticeable lump—even benign—can distort breast contour and affect self-image. For many young women, especially brides-to-be or public-facing professionals, lump removal is as much a cosmetic decision as a medical one.

The Surgical Journey at Jewel Aesthetic Centre

Here’s what your journey looks like:

Consultation and ultrasound/mammogram review
Surgical planning to place incisions in hidden areas
Short day-care procedure under local or general anesthesia
Clean closure with fine sutures for minimal scarring

What Makes Fibroadenoma Surgery Different from a Biopsy?

Biopsies involve extracting a sample to confirm diagnosis, while excision removes the entire lump. Surgical excision is both diagnostic and curative, especially when imaging results are inconclusive.

How Big Is Too Big? Size Matters in Decision-Making

Lumps larger than 2–3 cm are usually removed to prevent cosmetic distortion or discomfort. Giant fibroadenomas (over 5 cm) are rare but may stretch the skin and require tissue reconstruction.

Surgery in Teenagers – Special Care Required

In adolescents, careful consideration is given to avoid disruption of developing breast tissue. Aesthetic techniques are crucial to preserve future symmetry and growth.

Breast Contour Restoration After Lump Removal

Once the lump is removed, techniques like fat grafting or internal flap closure help restore a smooth contour, preventing hollowed-out appearance or dents.

Multiple Lumps? You’re Not Alone

Some women develop multiple fibroadenomas (a condition called fibroadenomatosis). Dr. Devayani offers surgical plans that balance removal with aesthetics, ensuring breast shape is preserved even with multiple excisions.

When Imaging Isn’t Conclusive – Surgery Becomes Reassurance

Sometimes, a lump might not have classic imaging features. In such cases, excision becomes the safest option to rule out malignancy and ease uncertainty.

Your Recovery Timeline: What to Expect

Discharge the same day or next morning
Suture removal in 5–7 days
Resume work in 3–5 days (light activity)
No heavy lifting or chest exercises for 2 weeks

Is It Safe to Delay the Surgery?

In most cases, yes. But if the lump is enlarging rapidly or causing discomfort, prompt removal is advisable. Early surgery also helps avoid more complex procedures later.

Long-Term Results – Will It Come Back?

Most excised fibroadenomas don’t recur at the same site. However, new ones may develop elsewhere. Regular self-exams and checkups are key to early detection.
