How long does a mastectomy with reconstruction surgery take?

I had a mastectomy on 9/25 with reconstruction and the surgery was about 5 hours. I am sure you will do great !

I had double mastectomy with Diep flap reconstruction. Total time was about 7 hours.

Hi LaDonna K- how did surgery go for you? Sending positive mojo for a quick recovery

I had the same procedures on July 19. Please let us know how your doing.

Surgery times can vary quite a bit depending on the specific type of reconstruction and individual factors, but many patients find that having both procedures done together typically takes several hours. It's completely natural to feel nervous before surgery, and many community members have shared that connecting with others who've been through similar experiences helps ease those pre-surgery jitters.
