If you’ve discovered a lump in your breast, it’s natural to feel anxious. Fortunately, not all lumps are cancerous. One of the most common benign (non-cancerous) breast conditions is fibroadenoma—a solid, smooth, and typically painless lump. While many fibroadenomas don't require removal, some may need surgical excision to ensure peace of mind or prevent future complications.
That’s where Dr. Kanmani Govindrao Telkar, a skilled breast surgeon, offers safe and effective fibroadenoma excision using advanced surgical techniques, resulting in minimal discomfort and downtime.
What is Fibroadenoma?
A fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous breast tumor commonly found in women between the ages of 15 and 35. These lumps are usually round, rubbery, and mobile under the skin. While they are not harmful, some fibroadenomas may grow over time or cause discomfort, warranting further evaluation and possible removal.
Common reasons for removal include:
- Rapid growth or large size
- Pain or discomfort
- Cosmetic concerns
- Uncertainty in diagnosis
- Patient preference or anxiety
What is Fibroadenoma Excision?
Fibroadenoma excision is a minor surgical procedure to remove the breast lump while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. The goal is to confirm a benign diagnosis, relieve symptoms, and restore peace of mind, especially if imaging or biopsy results are unclear or the lump continues to grow.
When Should You Consider Fibroadenoma Removal?
Dr. Kanmani recommends excision in the following scenarios:
- The fibroadenoma is larger than 2–3 cm
- It continues to grow rapidly
- There is pain, tenderness, or skin changes
- You feel cosmetic asymmetry
- Biopsy results are inconclusive or suspicious
- Do you prefer surgical removal for mental relief
What to Expect During the Procedure
Dr. Kanmani performs fibroadenoma excision as a day surgery under local or general anesthesia. Here's how the procedure works:
- A small incision is made near the lump or along the natural breast fold.
- The lump is carefully removed without damaging breast tissue.
- The incision is closed with cosmetic sutures for minimal scarring.
- Minimal pain managed with simple medications
- No hospital stay needed
- Stitches are removed or dissolve within 7–10 days
- Normal activities can resume within a few days
- Mch and Fellowship and FEBS
- Special training in breast diseases and surgical oncology
- Expertise in minimally invasive and cosmetic surgical techniques
The procedure is typically completed within 30–60 minutes, and most patients can return home the same day.
