What are the risks and recovery expectations?
Risks include infection, bleeding, seroma (fluid buildup), lymphedema (arm swelling), and changes in breast sensation. Recovery involves a 3–5 day hospital stay, followed by 2–3 weeks of limited arm movement and lifting. Most patients return to normal activities within a month, with regular follow-up imaging to monitor for recurrence.
