Private Breast Surgeon Consultation in London

According to Cancer Research UK, in 2022, an estimated 11,600 people in the UK will die from breast cancer. This is equivalent to 28 people dying every day.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK, accounting for 1 in 3 cancer cases in women. It is also the second most common cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.

At London Private Ultrasound, we understand the importance of breast health and the concerns that come with it.

A breast surgeon consultation we provide is a meeting between you and a breast surgeon to discuss your breast health. The surgeon will ask you about your medical history, your family history, and any concerns you have about your breasts. They will also perform a physical examination of your breasts and discus your Ultrasound scan of your breast if available.

• During your visit, our breast surgeons will:

1. Discuss Your Medical History: We’ll take a detailed look at your past and present health, family history of breast diseases, and any previous mammograms or biopsies you’ve had.
2. Physical Examination: A thorough examination of both breasts, underarms, and the collarbone area will be conducted to check for any abnormalities.
3. Personalized Recommendations: Based on your history and physical examination, our surgeon might recommend specific tests or procedures to further assess your breast health.
4. Provide Information and Address Concerns: We believe in informed decisions. Our team will provide all the information you need about potential conditions, treatments, and preventive measures. We’ll also answer any questions and address any concerns you might have.

• Common Abnormalities and Findings:

1. Benign breast lumps: Often non-cancerous, they can be due to fibroadenomas, cysts, or other conditions.
2. Breast cancer: Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
3. Infections and abscesses: Inflammations like mastitis.
4. Nipple discharge: Can be benign or indicative of an underlying condition.
5. Breast pain: Can be due to hormonal changes, injury, or other causes.
6. Skin changes: Dimpling, puckering, or redness might need further investigation.
