Introduction
Minimally invasive breast surgery mainly involves the use of specialized instruments through small incisions or natural body orifices to access the breast, with precise removal of diseased tissue under imaging guidance. The general reference price for minimally invasive breast surgery is 3,000 to 10,000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is usually observed within 1 to 3 months. This procedure may carry a risk of infection.
Minimally invasive breast surgery mainly utilizes specialized instruments to access the breast through small incisions or natural body openings, allowing precise removal of diseased tissue under imaging guidance. The general reference price for minimally invasive breast surgery ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 yuan per session, with noticeable improvement typically observed within one to three months. This procedure carries a risk of infection. The cost of minimally invasive breast surgery may vary depending on factors such as surgical technique, nature of the lesion, number of lesions, surgical site, and regional differences. It is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for diagnosis and treatment.
1. Surgical Technique: Conventional vacuum-assisted excision procedures are relatively simple to perform, with costs generally ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 yuan per session. If more advanced techniques such as radiofrequency ablation are used, the cost may increase to 6,000-10,000 yuan per session due to higher equipment and consumables costs.
2. Nature of the Lesion: Benign lesions are easier to remove, requiring shorter surgical time, with costs usually between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan per session. Malignant lesions require more extensive surgery and may involve follow-up treatments, with costs potentially reaching 8,000-10,000 yuan per session.
3. Number of Lesions: Removal of a single lesion involves a simpler procedure and lower cost, generally 3,000-4,000 yuan per session. Multiple lesions require individual treatment, increasing the time required and the amount of instruments and consumables used, raising the cost to 5,000-8,000 yuan per session.
4. Surgical Site: Lesions located in superficial areas of the breast are easier to access and remove, with lower surgical difficulty and costs ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per session. Deep-seated lesions are more complex to remove, increasing the cost to 6,000-9,000 yuan per session.
5. Regional Differences: In regions with lower living costs, equipment and consumables expenses are lower, with surgical costs potentially ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 yuan per session. In areas with higher living costs, overall expenses increase, and surgical costs may reach 6,000-10,000 yuan per session.
In daily life, it is recommended to properly care for the surgical site, maintain a bland diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Adequate rest and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule are also important for post-operative recovery.
