The 'Pre-Op' Clearance: "A mandatory step for you would be a joint consultation between your Surgeon and your Psychiatrist. This ensures that your anxiety is well-managed before surgery and that the medical team has a specific 'anxiety management plan' for your hospital stay." ​Physical Therapy Trial: "If your goal is to reduce pain and you are hesitant about surgery due to anxiety, try 3 to 6 months of targeted physical therapy and core strengthening exercises first. This can sometimes alleviate the symptoms enough to delay the need for surgery." ​Medical Evaluation: "Undergo a full medical check-up, including a mammogram or breast ultrasound, to ensure there are no underlying breast tissue issues before planning any reduction."
