Are you thinking of going to specific area / clinic for the surgery?

Select a specialist in Breast surgery, and if can, go to a clinic that has a Breast Clinic. They should have an entire team of specialist.

If after meeting with a surgeon, you are not comfortable , get a 2nd opinion. It helps to have questions written down and have 2nd person at appointment.

I usually let provider explain everything, and then review my questions to make sure everything is covered before he/she leaves the office. Also, ask how to contact if have additional questions. Once go home and think and discuss, there will have more question.

This website was recommended by a Mayo surgeon as good resource for breast information:

This site has a list of questions for surgeon, pick and choice the ones you think you should ask based on your situation.
