Preparation Is Key to Successful Weight Mastectomy Surgery

95% of the success for a weight mastectomy is all to do with patient preparation. So we don't want to be speaking to a patient on the morning of surgery and telling them we're not going to give them a general anesthetic for the first time. We talk about the fact that they don't have to be completely wide awake. We also ask them about music so they know what to expect. The idea is just to drop that tension and that anxiety. And I use a small amount of medazalan.
