how many hours is double mastectomy surgery
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. Mastectomy without reconstruction usually takes one to three hours. It usually requires one additional day in the hospital, although more and more people are going home on the same day as the operation. If you're having both breasts removed (double mastectomy), expect to spend more time in surgery and possibly more time in the hospital. If you're having breast reconstruction following mastectomy, the procedure also takes longer and you may stay in the hospital for a few additional days.
