Breast surgery for benign nodule removal, or nodulectomy, is simple and usually rapid. A small cut is made in the breast on the side where the lump is, where it is withdrawn for treatment or for diagnosis. Usually, the surgery takes 1 hour, but it depends on the number of nodules and their location. Breast lift for nodule removal can be done under local anesthesia, but when the lesion is very bulky or if more than one nodule is to be removed, the surgery is done under general anesthesia
