Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Mastectomy. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A mastectomy is the surgical removal of breast tissue, most commonly performed to treat breast cancer or to significantly reduce the risk of cancer in individuals who carry high-risk gene mutations such as BRCA1 or BRCA2. Depending on the extent of disease and the patient's goals, the operation may remove one or both breasts, with or without the nipple, and may include removal of nearby lymph nodes to assess cancer spread. Several surgical variants exist — from a simple total mastectomy to a modified radical mastectomy with axillary clearance — and the procedure is often combined with immediate or delayed breast reconstruction using implants or the patient's own tissue. Most patients stay in hospital for two to five days and can return to light activities within two to four weeks, with full recovery taking six to twelve weeks depending on whether reconstruction is performed. Mastectomy is well established, and outcomes for early-stage breast cancer treated with modern combined therapy are excellent.
The entire breast including the nipple is removed, and only the first one or two lymph nodes draining the breast are sampled to check for cancer spread — avoiding a full axillary clearance when nodes appear clinically clear.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: Mammography (bilateral), Breast ultrasound, Breast MRI (if not recently done), Core needle biopsy / histopathology review, CT scan chest, abdomen, pelvis (staging), CBC, LFT, KFT, blood sugar, ECG and chest X-ray (anaesthesia fitness). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $4,500 – $6,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~5 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 21 days
