What is the recovery time after having a breast cyst removed?
The recovery time following a lumpectomy (I am assuming that you are speaking of a lumpectomy because that is the medical term for "breast cyst removal") can vary because the type of lumpectomy varies. For a simple lumpectomy, the procedure is usually done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, and you go home the same day, and recovery from the entire procedure in a few days. The surgical site will heal within a month, barring any complications such as infection of course. Some cysts are cancerous, and some are not. (benign=not cancerous, malignant=cancerous) The removal of a cancerous lump is more involved, and therefore the surgery is more involved, since the "margins" (edges surrounding the lump) have to be taken out, and with the benign lump, surgeons only need to remove the lump without worrying about margins. Other factors that would determine how long it takes to recovery would be a person's age, general state of health, and other medical issues.
