Breast surgery includes procedures to change the size, shape, or appearance of the breasts for medical or cosmetic reasons.

Lumpectomy (Breast-conserving cancer surgery)
Mastectomy (Complete breast removal)
Breast Reconstruction (Implant or flap-based)
Cosmetic Breast Surgery:
– Breast Reduction
– Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
– Breast Augmentation

Lumpectomy is a breast-conserving surgery where only the cancerous lump and a small margin of surrounding tissue are removed—preserving most of the breast shape and skin.

Breast Preservation – Keeps most of the breast intact.
Shorter Recovery – Less invasive than full mastectomy.
Effective for Early Cancer – Often combined with radiation for good outcomes.

Radiation Needed – Usually followed by several weeks of radiotherapy.
Not Suitable for Large Tumors – Or if cancer is in multiple areas.
Slight Risk of Reoperation – If cancer margins aren’t clear.

Region	Cost (USD)	Cost (KES)
Lumpectomy only	$2,500 – $4,500	KES 325,000 – 585,000
With radiation	$5,000 – $7,000+	KES 650,000 – 910,000+

Cost includes surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay; radiation cost varies by hospital and number of sessions.

Mastectomy is a surgical procedure that involves complete removal of one or both breasts, typically done to treat or prevent breast cancer.

Reduces Recurrence Risk – Very low chance of cancer returning in the same breast.
May Avoid Radiation – In some cases, radiation isn’t needed afterward.
Effective for Larger or Aggressive Tumors – Better choice for extensive cancers or multiple tumors.

Complete Breast Loss – Can affect body image and emotional wellbeing.
Longer Recovery – Compared to lumpectomy.
Reconstruction May Be Needed – Requires additional surgery for cosmetic restoration.

Region	Cost (USD)	Cost (KES)
Mastectomy only	$3,500 – $6,500	KES 455,000 – 845,000
With reconstruction	$6,000 – $10,000+	KES 780,000 – 1,300,000+

Cost includes hospital stay, surgery, anesthesia; reconstruction adds to total cost.

Breast reconstruction is surgery to rebuild the shape of the breast after a mastectomy or injury. It uses either breast implants (silicone/saline) or tissue flaps from your body (e.g., abdomen, back).

Restores Natural Shape – Helps improve body image and confidence.
Can Be Done Immediately or Later – Flexible timing after mastectomy.
Long-Term Results – Especially with flap-based reconstruction.

Multiple Surgeries May Be Needed – For adjustments or symmetry.
Longer Recovery (Flap method) – Due to donor site healing.
Not Always Covered by Insurance – Especially cosmetic aspects.

Type	Cost (USD)	Cost (KES)
Implant-based	$4,000 – $7,500	KES 520,000 – 975,000
Flap-based (DIEP/TRAM)	$7,500 – $15,000+	KES 975,000 – 1,950,000+

Includes hospital, surgery, anesthesia. Flap method costs more due to complexity.
